Description In the arid deserts of Far Helzig, roam huge near human beasts with immense strength, tough reddish hide, spined backs,  huge endurance and possessing a violent rage. The giant bipedal monsters roam the wastes, rutting with each other in battles that make the very earth shake and tremble and destroying Helzig encampments. With the unifaction of near, Middle and Far Helzig, the Helzig armies discovered a way to conrtol these titanic monsters through use of Warmages to influence thier animal minds. Being in close porximinaty to thier charges, the Warmages could give basic commands to the beasts and exert soem degree of control. Some mages stand inside howdahs upon thier mount's backs, other walk close behind and a few bind themselves to the immense chests of the Wallbreakers bringing them as close together as possible. These beasts, refitted with a variety of armaments and turned into living siege weapons, breached the walls of any fortress that stood ion thier way and the Priman capital's walls itself.

This Wallbreaker is of the average size, though larger istances are common.
Draped down its back are scaling lines and rope ladders, allowing for Helzig warroirs to scale onto the beast and leap onto the enemy battlements from its shoulders. for this purpose, a ramp has been affixed to the right shoulder and a protecive barrier on its nape to protect the warriors clambing up and to provide a firing point for crossbow women.

The right hands of Wallbreakers are hevaily calloused and bony. The right arm is mode powerful than the left so for this beast, a siege ram is gripped in its right hand. Made from a lead and steel mix, these rams can easily cleave into reniforced walls. multiple strikes can send an entire section crumbling to the ground in a spray of rocky shrapnel.

The left arm, while weaker than the right, still posses great strength. This example has been fitted with a double wrecking flail, made from cast iron and lead. While swung, they can gather immense power and can crack walls in half, on unarmoured civillian buildings they can demolish in a single swing, pulping the occupants.

Sorry for the poor quality, this is only a basic drawing.
