Stormsnapper Rangefinder

Paramount to the effective use of long-range artillery is the ability to accurately sight targets and gauge their distance. No wall, bunker, or battlement has ever been constructed without some kind of flaw. The Storm Battalion was designed to efficiently seek out these weak points with the help of specialized mounts. Stormsnapper tortoises have both the mass and the steady gait to be the ideal beast of burden for carrying enormous, yet delicate, rangefinding equipment. In the hands of a skilled operator, this equipment provided artillery crews with precise trajectories, by which they might assault such structural weaknesses.
