''[[Summary::As if a bipedal, intelligent rhinoceros made of stone weren’t threatening enough, this one’s horn is a 10-centimeter metallic drill. Some deity somewhere really doesn’t like you.]]''

=== Combat ===

'''{{Anchor|Trample}} ([[Ex]]):''' Rhydon can trample Small creatures or smaller. It deals 1d8+8 damage (for the sample Rhydon) and the save DC is 19.

'''{{Anchor|Stampede}} ([[Ex]]):''' When Rhydon makes a [[SRD:Charge|charge]] attack, it is practically an unstoppable force. Everything in its path can either step aside (if there is room to do so) as a non-action or stand there like an idiot. If they stand there, then they may make an [[SRD:Attack of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]]. If that doesn't stop the Rhydon, it gets a free horn attack and may attempt a bull rush as well.

'''''{{Anchor|Earthquake}}'' ([[Sp]]):''' Once per hour, Rhydon may cast ''[[SRD:Earthquake|earthquake]]'' as a spell-like ability. Caster level equals hit dice, and the Save DC is 10 + ½ Rhydon’s Hit Dice + Rhydon’s Charisma modifier.

:The sample Rhydon has a caster level of 10 and save DC of 16 for ''Earthquake''.

'''{{Anchor|Scary Face}} ([[Su]]):''' Rhydon can make itself look extra fierce, and is able to make an [[SRD:Intimidate Skill|Intimidate]] check to demoralize as a Swift action.

'''{{Anchor|Horn Drill}} ([[Ex]]):''' Whenever it scores a critical hit with a Gore attack, Rhydon deals 4 points of [[Constitution]] [[SRD:Ability Damaged|damage]] through blood loss.

'''{{Anchor|Powerful Build}} ([[Ex]]):''' The physical stature of a Rhydon lets it function in many ways as if it were one size category larger. Whenever a Rhydon is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), a Rhydon is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to it. A Rhydon is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A Rhydon can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, its space and reach remain those of a creature of its actual size. The benefits of this stack with those of spells and effects that change the subject’s size category.

'''{{Anchor|Acid Weakness}} ([[Ex]]):''' Rhydon takes double damage from acid, and gets pissed off.

'''{{Anchor|Invincible Charge}} ([[Ex]]):''' When Rhydon [[SRD:Charge|charges]], it doubles its DR and gains Mettle and immunity to critical hits. These last until its next turn begins.

'''{{Anchor|Two Stances}} ([[Ex]]):''' Rhyhorn can happily move about on two or four legs. On four legs, it gains a +10' bonus to movement speeds, and all the benefits of being a quadruped. On two legs, it is able to make Slam attacks, but cannot Stampede. It can switch stances as a free action once per round.
