Mûmak of Harad

Huge beasts from the deep South, the mighty Mûmakil, are akin to Elephants, only far larger. Frodo and Sam briefly glimpsed two such creatures making their way toward Mordor, but in the assault upon Minas Tirith these mighty beasts are brought together in greater number and to terrible purpose. Hung with cruel weaponry and saddled by their Haradrim masters with lofty war towers, the Mûmakil charge in to battle crushing and destroying everything in their path. From atop their precarious perches the Haradrim rain arrows and spears down upon their foes while their beasts grind horse and Man alike underfoot.
