Oliphaunts of Harad | Creatures of Middle-earth

The Oliphaunts are mighty elephant-like creatures from Harad. In the tongue of the Haradrim an oliphaunt was called a Mûmak, or Mûmakil in plural form. This name was also used in Gondor, who would often fight these ferocious beast from the South. The Haradrim strapped towers on their backs and rode on them into battle. The Mûmak itself, enraged and goaded by its cruel Haradrim masters, would charge through the enemy, trampling archer, swordsman and horse beneath its massive feet. It was almost impossible to kill a Mûmak – It had rough leathery hide which made arrows relatively harmless to it. Horses had a natural fear of the mûmakil so even the most skilled horsemen could not get close enough to strike at its great, trunk-like legs. The only known way to defeat an oliphaunt was to shoot it in the eye, which typically meant standing in front of it as it charged the archer, and thus a very difficult task to perform. Not only would you need to get close enough to the beast, but you’d also need a lot of courage to face it in the first place. We know of two archers that did have the courage to face the creature during the battle of Pelennor fields – the sons of Lord Duinhir. Derufin and Duilin. They lead their bowmen close to shoot at the eyes of the monsters, but were trampled along with many of their men. ✨Join Patreon:   / counciloftherings   ✨Become a member of the Council of the Rings to get access to perks:    / @counciloftherings   📌Merchandise store: https://council-of-the-rings.myspread... 🔰 Join the Discord:   / discord   🔰 Join our subreddit:   / counciloftherings   🔰 Follow on Twitter:   / councilofrings   🔰 Follow on Instagram:   / counciloftherings   🔷Planning to start a YouTube channel?
