A howdah is a seat or box, usually with a canopy and railing, placed on the back of a Huge or larger creature, such as a kodo beast or elephant. Four medium riders can fit on a howdah. Many creatures, especially orcs and tauren, build ornate and elaborate howdahs as symbols of prestige, or open-aired and spiked howdahs for military applications. In addition to being well out of infantry's range, howdahs grant their occupants cover. It weights 100 lbs.[1]
