mercilessly menacing mastodon

You are fighting a mercilessly menacing mastodon.

This giant mastodon was frozen in ice until it was thawed out a few years ago. Like the caveman it was frozen next to, this modern world frightened and confused it. Unlike that caveman, it didn't become an attorney. Instead, it went on a rampage and ended up here at the ranch.
