In this suggestion I will be discussing a mechanic I believe could and should be implemented into the various Horses, and ridable creatures of Middle-Earth.

Let's all take a moment and think for a second, shall we? If a horse is sprinting at you, and it's rider doesn't stop, you get trampled, and if the horse is going fast enough, you're dead, congrats. I'm suggesting we add various mechanics to mounts (besides the rhino) in middle earth.

Horses : Horses are pretty self-explanatory for this suggestion, the horse could charge into enemies, and possibly damage / slow them, simple as that. Possibly a cooldown could be implemented? However I believe the horse's charge could act similarily to that of the rhino.

(The Horse mechanic could also apply to Zebras, as their nearly the same)

(Shire ponies, shouldn't get anything honestly, they're to frail for any real combat in my opinion)

Wargs : Wargs could recieve a damage effect when they charge into an opposing player or npc, possibly inflicting a damage effect, but limited knockback (due to them likely comping down upon the foe).

Boars : Boar-riders could charge their pig-companions into the fray of battle causing a knockback effect, pushing a foe backwards, similar to that of which a feral boar would do to its aggressor in real life.

(Not to be confused with the Rhino's knock-up)

Giraffes : Where do I even start... Giraffes need to be altered in multiple fashions, Their hitbox needs to be assigned somewhere else, so players can atleast do some fighting whilst atop them. I also feel the giraffe's hitbox should be raised exponentially so only jumping players with swords/ axes/ maces/ or daggers can hit them, while polearm-weapons could counter giraffes. Giraffe's should also get an increase in their running speed, have you ever seen a giraffe run? Holy heck...

Gemsbok : If the Moredain can domesticate zebras, they could easily domesticate the copius amounts of gemsbok that roam the savannah. With the gemsbok, they could charge and deal quite minimal damage, however they could possibly apply a  small weakness or slowness effect, have you ever gotten impaled by a horn of a gemsbok? You're reading this suggestion, so i'd think not...

That concludes my suggestion about possible mount mechanic for this mod, if you have suggestions or comments for my suggestion please comment down below! Thanks for tuning in to my suggestion!

Cheers.
