A '''mumak''' is, in ''The Lord of the Rings'', an enormous elephant, slow but ferocious. While not the most dangerous of the creatures in its class, the mumak can do large amounts of damage, and can withstand significant blows before succumbing. While stronger characters like [[Valkyrie]] or [[Barbarian]] should be sufficiently prepared for the encounter, mumakil tend to be a frequent reason of [[Death (character)|death]] for weaker characters trying to fight them in melee. When fighting a mumak, take advantage of its slowness - use ranged weapons, polearm or hit-run strategy. They do not appear to respect [[Elbereth]].
