Fun bit of Information

Rocksteady is the fictional mutant rhino from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon and he is one of the henchman who follows the Shedder, the leader of the foot clan. The Rhinolla is the closest comboanimal match to Rocksteady, but unlike its cartoon character it’s 10 times bigger, doesn’t wear clothes or play music and it doesn’t follow anyones orders but it’s own.

Physical description

A gorilla with the head, mass and thick skin of a Rhino.

Females weigh 1,600 kg (3,500 lb) and males 2,400 kg (5,300 lb). The head-and-body length is 3.5–4.6 m (11–15 ft) and the shoulder height is 1.8–2 m (5.9–6.6 ft) making them potentially 32 times bigger than the average adult human.

Comboanimal Information

The Rhinolla can do a tremendous charge that no one can resist. 2 tonnes of gorilla muscle covered in thick rhino hide lead by two rhino horns.

They are hot headed and will charge at anything that could be a threat to them or is unusual to them. Before they charge they will warn their target with a succession of movements. First they will state and snarl, grunt, beat their fists on their chests while hooting, then put their head down towards their target and finally swipe their back foot three times before charging. When charging they will sprint, bound and climb do everything they can (except cross water) to reach their target.

They live in large communities where there is usually one lead male called the silver back rhinilla. They group are very territorial and will protect eachother at all costs.

It is an excellent climber however they are usually too heavy for anything to take its weight. They are poor swimmers and will avoid crossing bodies of water at all costs.

They have no natural predators in the animal kingdom because their thick rhino hide is impenetrable to most teeth and their powerful bulk and aggression make them more trouble than they are worth to attack.
