Howdahs are platforms, positioned on the backs of large animals used to carry troops or to mount heavy weapons. The constructions can range in size, growing with the size of the beast used, from small platforms to multi-turreted castles.[2a]

In times of war, the Eldar Exodites who usually herd livestock Dragons like the Megasaur and Megadon, and even the titanic building-sized Brachiosaur will instead mount Howdahs on the backs of their tended beasts to ferry crews of as many as a dozen warriors with their small arms[5] as well as a variety of heavy weapon galleries crewed by two Eldar each[5], including Twin-Barrelled Shuriken Cannons[4], Laser Cannons[5], Twin Prism Cannons[4] or Fusion Lances.[5]
