I've thought up some fauna.

1. An elk-like thing, but rather more intelligent. These are used only by the very high up military, the rest use normal elks. These are far easier to train, and are generally better.

2. Birds, like the Ravens of Erebor, that can communicate with the elves and are used for messages. They're pretty small though.

3. There is also a black type of the first mentioned creature, which moves with extreme speed and silence. This is what the march-wardens ride, in groups of about 6.
