Rhinoceros (animal)

Rhinoceros are megafauna that roam the savannahs of Sarradaon grazing upon the short grass that dominates the fields. The only ones brave to hunt these massive creatures are Man, and a pack of starving lions. Their prized by hunters primarily for their powerful horns.

We have tracked a male rhinoceros through the savannah, following the piles of dung and excrement that demarcate its territory to rivals, and have found the creature sipping from a small watering hole. The immensity of its size is hard to overstate, as its horn alone is nearly half my size, and the bulk of its weight could easily crush a man beneath it. We sneak closer to the rhinoceros to have a better shot, the poor vision and lack of awareness of the beast keeping us out of its mind. I ready my long range weapon and aim upon the beast. It will take far more than one long range weapon ammo to bring this giant down, but if we startle it well enough, it will try to flee rather than charge us, making the task at hand less insurmountable.
