There are few things you except to find in an icy tundra: snow, ice, some more snow and a large frozen mammoth skeleton!
As I have mentioned earlier, Trine 2 is filled with creatures wondrous and unique, some just little more dead than the others.
The Mammoth is one of those. Its structure is based on a real animal, the skeletal construct similar or identical to its once existing cousin.
For more information, check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammoth
In game the skeleton is used as a decorative background, not really interacting with the heroes but certainly creating some ‘frosty’ atmosphere.
Next time you pass by this mighty fellow, slow down and pay a few moments of respect. It gave its life to be used in Trine 2!
Talk about devotion…

..wikipedia link of course down for the while being, but do use this as an opportunity to learn about the SOPA/PIPA conversation.

Even (skeleton) mammoths are against SOPA/PIPA.

Did you know that Woolly Mammoths love playing games on Linux also? It’s true… please do bring Trine 2 to Linux so the above majestic creature’s digital life was not given in vain!!
(Ok, I freely admit that made no sense at all… but the implication was clear, I’m certain)
