In Speculative Fiction, especially video games, there's a habit of utilizing animals as full-fledged war machines, rather than just mounts or for pulling. This makes a fair bit of sense, especially in Fantasy worlds: If there are three-ton, fire-breathing dinosaurs in your kingdom, sooner or later somebody's gonna get the idea to unleash them on people they don't like. Depending on their intelligence, they may be capable of working independently. See also Dragon Rider, Horse of a Different Color, Weaponized Animal. Examples of Beast of Battle include:

The creature either uses its natural abilities and/or has various platforms and/or instruments of destruction lashed to its side or across its back that human(oid) soldiers can use in battle. This can be as simple as a Howdah or other platform from which your soldiers can fight, but weapons like ballistae, cannons, and other mechanisms are also common. Depending on their intelligence, they may be capable of working independently. See also Dragon Rider, Horse of a Different Color, Weaponized Animal. Examples of Beast of Battle include:
