Most of the factions in the mod has different mounts. For example: Wood-elves has elks, Dwarves have boars, orcs have wargs, Near Haradrim has camels. But the Tauredain are jungle people, so it would make sense if they had a tropical animal as a mount. My suggestion for this animal would be the hippo. Because, that would be something that jungle peoples could really need. Here are some reasons for why that would be a great animal for the Tauredain: 1. They can swim, and are large enough for someone to ride them. So they can use them as some sort of boat on the rivers in the jungle. 2. One hippo has a lot of meat, so that could be one food source, apart from bananas of course. 3. They are really strong, and can kill people by just running over them, so for players that are against the Tauredain, would have a challenge when they fight them. 4. Harad is Middle-Earths Africa, and the hippo is a well known african animal, so it would make sense to have it there. 5. Hippos often walk around on the bottom of rivers, so the Tauredain can train them to gather medicinal plants that are on the bottom of the river. This is just something that I think would be very cool, and I would love it if the hippo actually got added.
