The Loxo are a fictional race in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. They are of the Monstrous humanoid creature type. Loxo resemble humanoid elephants. They are named after a gigantic Quadling farmer in Ruth Plumly Thompson's Speedy in Oz.

Loxos appear as bipedal, humanoid elephants of roughly orc or ogre size. Their skin is bluish-gray and wrinkled with rough, sparse hair. Loxos, unlike an actual elephant, have two trunks. Both of these trunks end in three finger-like digits and they can use them as arms.

Loxo are seminomadic and peaceful clansfolk with a tribal culture which is a hybrid of Southern Asian and African real-life cultures. They inhabit warm plains.

Loxo are true neutral in alignment.
