 ===Origin===
-Mamoswine appears to be a combination of a {{wp|woolly mammoth}} and a {{wp|wild boar}}. The white and blue mask around its eyes resembles ski goggles. Its {{t|Ground}} [[type]] may be derived from the fact that the word "mammoth" comes from the Russian word "ма́монт", which itself originates from the Mansi words "ма̄" (earth) and "а̄ньт" (horn). The {{t|Ice}} type, however, may come from the association of mammoths with an {{wp|ice age}}.

The {{t|Ice}} type, however, may come from the association of mammoths with an {{wp|ice age}}. Its [[Shiny]] form's green coloration may be a reference to {{wp|jade}} jewelry, an art that dates back to ancient times, in which elephants are commonly depicted. This is further supported by the fact that Mamoswine originated in the [[Hisui]] region, with 翡翠 (''hisui'') meaning "jade" in Japanese. Also, Mamoswine is based on an ancient creature, and must know the move {{m|Ancient Power}} to be able to evolve from its previous form.
