Or alternatively they could have a slow turn speed to provide the same effect.

Perhaps the same effect (though lessened) could be applied to Trolls also to alleviate the situation in combat which Ithilion speaks of, especially in the case of Olog-hai (they really need a weakness on the open field, they are just too damn fast). It should very much do the complete opposite of what you have suggested.

It should have two aggro ranges, the larger one being where the Oliphaunt walks slowly towards the enemy, so allowing the archers (who would have a greater aggro) attack the enemy, and only when the enemy is really close should the Oliphaunt itself charge in and attack, perhaps in the manner that you mentioned That isn't the complete opposite of what I said. That is what I said with a mechanic to allow the archers to shoot added. And I do agree with it; but I maintain that at all times the Mûmak should have a slower turn speed, as no creature that large and bulky could feasibly turn instantaneously as do other NPCs and animals in the game.

Mobs that fight in the "bull" manner are easy to kill. You can pretty easily avoid hits by just using the a and d keys. With that ability, I bet many players could take out mumakil without taking a single hit (except they can still take damage from archers on top of it). Normally, I would agree with that first statement. But these Mûmakil have 280 health. The eyes are their great weak spot, and those can only be reached by going in front of them, and therefore in range of their attacks. And as you say, there will also be archers loosing arrows at you while trying to kill it.
