If we had seven depictions we might be able to say that it wears the howdah on two out of seven days - or even three out of seven (I'm thinking half full, half empty, full) leaving it howdah-free on dying and black when serious feeding happens.
I do not think the howdah is a permanent fixture but, partly because of the Trekkie idea, i feel compelled to have a "bridge".
