Mumakil itself would have 350 health, 8 attack damage and 5 defence. A hired one comes with southron archers on top of it (their amount will be decided when the size is decided). Possibly a southron mumakil "driver" npc like the ones from the movies will also come, if that npc is killed then the mumakil will wander around aimlessly (unless angered) but the archers can still shoot.

Mumakil will naturally spawn in the far harad jungle, maybe also in the cloud forest.

Now this part might anger many people:

Mumakil CANNOT be tamed or ridden by players. They will ONLY come as ań unit for southrons, no tauredain mumakil riders. I think it's mentioned in the mod lore that tauredain only used mumakil in the hardest battles when they would have been doomed otherwise (correct me if I'm wrong).

Mumakil will also spawn in the southron mumakil tamer structures, occasionally in some sort of moredain structures since I'm pretty sure moredain bring the mumakil to southrons, also southron mumakil riders will uncommonly spawn in southron invasions.

I built a quite derpy looking example of a mumakil out of blocks. The mumakil itself is 6 blocks tall, with the southron thing added it's 11 blocks tall. There are 10 southrons on top of it, 1 driver and 9 archers. The archers have quite alot of trouble noticing the gondor soldiers below though.

I like it. But the archers should have more room than that. Not all of them will be able to effectively shoot. I think should be able to tame Mumakil, but you would lose a lot of Tauredain align if you do. You should at least be able to ride along side your troops on hired Mumakil.
