I really like the concept for the draught-beast. It is something new and fits nicely in a collection.

Should the Draught Beast of Mordor be first past the post, just a quick update sketch to refine the idea. Some form of protective head armament and front of body and spine protection. I imagine this would be of some thick leather or similar that allowed a degree of flexibility for the beast. However, as ever I do believe the final choice should be down to Chris Tubb as he is the sculptor and may have an image in mind and/or type of creature, e.g. it may already have its own natural armour

I envision a hippopotamus like creature with short horns. It would have interchangeable front legs so that it could be used in a diorama pulling Grond and with some sort of harness on it. Smaller than a oliphaunt but bigger than a horse. Those of us diorama builders would have to buy at least 4. Money maker for mithril.

Leg options would be great if they were cost effective as it would add to the flexibility of any diorama ideas . These creatures would live in pairs so yes, I guess you would need more than one LOL.

I doubt that a fellowship release of such a large creature will be feasable for a diorama with multiple samples.
If there is any chance that Mithril does part of their products as resins, the main body of this beast may well be a good place to start.
