8th Ed. monstrous mounts

[Animaux]

odd question but i cant seem to find a ruling either way

1 does a stegadon taken as a mount count to wards rare or special choices

2 could you take a stegadon as a rare or special choice and then during deployment put a hero on top of it

A stegadon taken as a mount for any hero must be used in the hero/lord requirements. You cannot add a hero after the game starts either. That would be handy, but kinda broken.
