The Haradrim are a group of people from the southern regions of Middle-earth, primarily featured in J.R.R. Tolkien's works, including The Lord of the Rings. They are often depicted as allies of Sauron, the dark lord, and are known for their distinct culture, which includes unique clothing, customs, and a strong connection to their land. The Haradrim are often portrayed as warriors, riding large, fierce creatures called Mûmakil or oliphaunts into battle. Their society is organized into various tribes, and they are frequently seen in conflict with the forces of Gondor and other free peoples of Middle-earth.
