Hmm, well I stand corrected, though I don't think there are *text* occurances :-p.
I had to look hard at the Footprints cover to see it.
Tales 8 (page 27) has a howdah
Tales 16 (Cover, page 66) doesn't seem to indicate anything like a howdah.
The Moon Rites cover doesn't have a Howdah
The Cults of Terror (page 77) doesn't (sems to be ridden only by the Goddess though - she probably wouldn't need it...)
So, two out of five visual depictions have a howdah, and they are both by the same artist...

Well, *that* would put an end to trying to get the bat back under control!

It is by my order and for the good of the state that the bearer of this has
done what he has done.
