Black Rhinoceros

These creatures can grow up to nearly 6 feet at the shoulder and over 12 feet in length. Adult males can weigh as much as 6,385 pounds, but usually weigh anywhere from 1,760 to 3,090 pounds, with females being somewhat smaller. Rhinoceros horns have been valued for medicinal and magical reasons in historic times, and this may be true in the campaign milieu. Most black rhinos have two horns, one growing to a length of 4d16 inches long and the secondary one growing to 2d8 inches long. However, it is possible for black rhino horns to grow to as long as 55 inches. Rarely, a black rhino may grow a third horn 1d8 inches long (1 in 20 chance). Typical value for rhino horns is 1d10 sp per inch, so that a 24-inch horn is effectively worth 2d10 gp and 4d10 sp. Other names: hook-lipped rhinoceros.
