A humble request to the developers: I feel adding mobs based on the SoM monsters (Ghūl, Caragor, and Graug) would make Mordor come alive.

And you exaggerated their capabilities, as they, in fact, were obviously not able to PICK UP an Olog-hai and eat them. They certainly, however are stronger, yet that would also help support the fact that Sauron was attempting to breed them to obtain a more fearsome creature. This is further supported by the fact that there are Olog-Graugs which would mean that they are DEFINITELY being bred to be powerful but smarter.
I know there's no way most people consider this suggestion anymore... Which is mostly based on bias, but the more I argue for it, the more it makes sense that it would be a pretty good idea rather than simply a sub-par one.
Sure, there's yet to be things that we're all looking forward to, such as Mumakil, but these are much smaller creatures and aren't as difficult to implement (Caragors are rather small, and Graugs are similar to trolls, to where the details could mesh together in minecraft).
This is not what we see ingame so your just making stuff up about them (which is fine because they are fan fiction) but you truly belief frodo did not come across it. No one mentioned it during the SEVEN YEAR siege of barad dur (would have been a great time to use them) or when Aragorn was waiting at the gate.
Did you play the games??? Graugs litteraly pick up and eat Olog Hai in it. Also the olog-graugs are not a mix between a olog hai and graug, just a more powerfull graug.
Graig size next to olog hai in game ----------------------------------------->
Because like Samoja1 said, this is a mod about Tolkiens work. Not the work of every rando with the imagination of an eight year old. Tolkien made his own story with inspiration from other places. This mod is not about making its own world. its about creating tolkiens world.
And it is even written in the Mevans WNTS: (Any animal, plant or food item that is not specifically mentioned in lore but that can be considered a possible addition because it is known to mankind on earth and it does not contradict lore.)
So please stop with these silly suggestions because they wont be added and most (and also the mods creator) does not want these added or sugessted.
Yeah, fine. As stated before I honestly don't care all that much and it's obvious it won't be added. I also realized my knowledge on olog-hai is lackluster. I'm done with this debate as there's really no point.
FAR Harad, not Near Harad. And I was referring to the Taurethrim.
Harad's tribes included into those of Near and Far Harad, although there were many tribes of the Haradrim, often mutually hostile. Some of the peoples of Far Harad were organized into kingdoms.[7]
Missed that, my bad. Still doesn't matter considering the Taurethrim as a name doesn't exist in tolkien lore and their armor, weaponry, buildings, etc are all fabrications by the mod team as far as I can tell. The only thing that I understand to be canon is their organization as kingdoms. If I'm wrong about anything please let me know.
Yes, but as i previously explained. It is impossible to add a faction without giving the a culture right? I really don't know how that would be possible. Because if the mod them did not give them structures than that would be part of their cuture and the other way around same with names etc. So 1. We know Far-Harad has people in it and kingdoms, but no more information. 2 So we add the people and kingdoms, but when you add these you have to automaticaly give them a culture. so this has to be made up it is neccesary, but following the lore and not conflicting with it.
I really doubt this type of ideas are carried out, it was always very clear that only the things that did not contradict the lore would be added, in this way we will not see dwarf cars pulled by goats, and in the same way we will not see carago, this because they are simply the white mark of wargs and trolls in the middle earth universe, mordor does not need more "life" basically because the main characteristic of Mordor is that it lacks "life" only orcs, uruks, trolls in the mountains and I do not remember If wargs in the valleys, what more life can you expect in a place where there is hardly any water and the only plants are thorny bushes?
Sorry for bad english x_X

Because this is LOTR mod, LOTR, not some silly spinoff, or will you next suggest we make giamt spiders transform into skimpily clad go-go dancers? Mental image alone still makes me wanna puke.
Shelob's transformation is actually one of the least offensive things in that game lore wise, at least compared to Helm Hammerhand being a Nazgul and such.
I don't think there's anything wrong with adding content from "silly spinoffs". I don't think Tolkien would approve of this kind of lore fanaticism. That being said, i don't these things should be added in their pure form. They should be modified to better suit the lore.

You don't get it man, Shelob has been hunting my nightmares since before i even knew about her, AFAIK the whole giant spider trope was created by Tolkien. The fact they made her transform into a woman, imagine if she went to hug you and then transformed back, ugh, or her mask slipped for a moment. The whole, sexualizng a giant spider thing seems beyond perverse to me.
