Tremortusk is another new machine. It is a mammoth-like creature and is considered dangerous if it is found in the wild. It becomes a major threat when it is used for warfare by humans such as the Tenakth. Tremortusks were specifically designed to be combat machines and prevent humans from overrunning the ecosystem.
