'For what?' some may ask. Well, I will share with you a picture, that should explain my aching needs:

I travelled to Hoth for but one reason. But when I got there, I was shocked to find an unacceptable lack of Tauntaun mounts! Why are there no Tauntauns to be ridden through the frozen wastes? No songlike Tauntaun calls to listen to in lonely hours? Is it because they smell bad on the outside? Then shame on you! There are so many positive sides to having a Tauntaun as a mighty steed!
#1 Look at that picture again. That should explain #1 pretty well.
#2 You can slice them up and use them as a sleeping bag!
#3 They may smell bad on the outside, but they have a warm heart (and other warm intestines too!)
#4 Tauntauns have a name you never get tired of saying. I could say Tauntaun all day long. I might even compose a song about Tauntauns.
#5 Said song (not by me, but who cares? It's about Tauntauns!)
#6 George Lucas would approve!
#7 Reason number 7 used to be here, but then he took an arrow to the knee.
#8 Cuter than Ewoks!
#9
I couldn't think of reason that could possibly outweight #9, but why don't you listen to some opinions I gathered.
"At first, I had no idea what a Tauntaun even was, until Keldon showed me a holopic. Now I can't stop thinking about them! I even bought myself a plushy Tauntaun toy, and I'm totally convinced that I want to learn how to ride one some day!' - Ava Jaxo, Seargent, Republic Special Forces
'I couldn't possibly think of a reason why anyone would ride such a creature. They're disgusting!' - Elara Dorne, Seargent, Havoc Squad
'I wasn't sure about those animals before, but Captain Keldon convinced me - the Republic absolutely needs a Special Forces Tauntaun squad to sway the battle for Hoth in our favor.' - General Garza, Republic Military
So please, Bioware: Give us Tauntauns!
Keldon Masara,
Captain,
