How *would* the Mûmakil work?

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION!

Hi all!

Considering the Harad Update is coming soon, and we've recieved a lot of hints that the Mighty Mûmakil might be added this update, I was wondering how they might work? How big would they be? How powerful?

In my view they would be ~7 blocks high, have the movie style tusks and the wartowers on their backs, and could be buyable from some kind of new Haradrim subfaction.

How would you all invision them?

Intriguing indeed but how would that work?

1. Dig a pit.

2. put a mumakil in the pit.

3. drive it in the direction you want it to go.

Trench dug.

I need to hire some of these Mumakil, I've got a lot of trenches to dig.

Maybe there should be eastern mumakil from Rhun but they are much smaller like Asian elephants

It would be cool, but also non-canocal. I would support it if it was lore, though.

In my opinion, at the bear miminum, I need 4 or so Harad Archers on the back, to shoot enemies and such.

the war towers could work like saddles, you could stack multiple layers of war towers, also, considering that these guys are basiclly elephants on sterioids, i would like it if they would panic and go beserk when under severe attack, say when they are at 1/4th of there HP

Well, all that we know for certain is that the only faction to use them in war will be Near Harad (and that the Taurethrim consider such use heretical.)
My thoughts on the other details:

IMO, they should be 10-12 blocks tall. Not ridiculously big, but they were explicitly stated to make modern elephants look wimpy in comparison.
They should be able to destroy blocks, to a limited degree. We know they come from the Jungles, so naturally they should be able to knock down trees (which is canon, btw :-P). This would make them not suffocate in their natural habitat and more imposing when you find them. It'd also be nice and realistic for them to plow through wooden barricades and the like.
They should be rare and very difficult to tame and control. They should also only have one rider in the traditional sense.
They should do massive AOE charge/trample damage.
One should be able to build on certain parts of their backs. Since mobs can't be solid, this would allow multiple players to ride and also have siege towers on the backs of Mumakil without making overly complicated models.
One should be able to apply warpaint to them.
As Southron units, they should be extremely expensive.

How would NPC's stay on?
