Khardull: saddles (5-8) (Patreon)

Here are a few more variants for saddles or, more likely, pretty big chunks of armor actually. Especially the last one can expand itself to the point when it can cover the whole beast's body.

Regarding reins: there are always two of them. Why are they separated? First reason is that they have hooks and can be fixated quickly anywhere on the khardull's saddle. Second thing - reins can be also fixated anywhere on the Ancients' armor, that means that by fixating it on thighs or knees Ancient can free both of his hands and use heavy guns while still having control over the beast.

And, by the way, there are always one matrix sphere inside of a saddle that controls frame threads and answers to the rider's requests~
