Megoliaths are giant mammoth-like Creatures of Grimm that first appeared in "Episode Name Here".

Appearance
Megoliaths resemble the now-extinct mammoth, a large elephant-like animal that lived in the Holocene. They have a primarily black body, with four giant white tusks and a spiked bone-like mask. Most likely due to the fact that they inhabit the cold tundras of Solitas, the Megoliath's skin appears to be somewhat frozen over, like other Grimm in the continent. Like most Grimm, they have bony, white protrusions on their bodies, with a massive row of them going down their spines, and have exposed ribs.

History
Megoliaths are seen stampeding towards the city of Mantle, charging at the city in a large herd.

Powers and Abilities
Megoliaths are capable of charging at high speeds, kicking up a snowstorm in their wake. They appear to attack in large herds, consisting of dozens of Megoliaths at a time.
