== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* In ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'', all Juggernauts of Khorne are unholy rhino-shaped amalgamations of daemon, metal, and hellfire. The Blood Crushers are especially large versions.
** Warhammer Fantasy also has "Rhinoxen" as the answer to the question "what the hell could an Ogre ride on the back of?"
** Also in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' is the Rhino APC, the [[Super Soldier|Space Marines']] primary <s>[[Memetic Mutation|METAL BOX]]</s> transport vehicle.
* [http://beta.gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=27249 Crash of Rhinos] is a hard-hitting card from ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'''s Mirage expansion.
** From ''Shards of Alara'' onward, [[Retcon|the Rhoxes have been portrayed]] as humanoid rhinos. In earlier editions their design was closer to ankylosauruses.
* In ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' there are the Rhek, a race of hulking, anthropomorphic, [[Lawful Good]] humanoid rhinos. Their entry included one with levels in the [[Bare-Fisted Monk|Monk]] class. That's right, not only is this one a [[Badass]] man-rhino, but it knows kung-fu.
* [[Hero System|The Champions Universe]] features a villain named Ironhorn, who is basically a [[Captain Ersatz]] of Marvel's Rhino.
* The [[Fighting Fantasy]] series features Rhino-Men as the [[Mook|mooksmook]]s of [[Big Bad]] Balthus Dire.

Line 97:
== [[Web Original]] ==
* In the [[Homestar Runner]] universe, Strong Bad invents a videogame called "Rhino Feeder" which is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]].
* "[https://web.archive.org/web/20120806081549/http://people.ambrosiasw.com/~andrew/funny/bloodcyber.html Rhinoceruses don't play games. They f**king charge your ass.]" ('''Warning: NSFW''')
* The ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'' has a supervillain named Pygmy Rhino, a super-humanly strong, superhumanly fast, [[Nigh Invulnerable]] dwarf who gets a kick out of running his opponent's down.
* [[The Descendants]] has Embarr, the mount of the Ape Knight. An evil sorceress mistook her of a fat, slow unicorn and used magic to make her faster, smarter and gave her a ton more endurance.
Line 109:
** [[Transformers Cybertron]] has Backstop, the Jamaican-accented pacifistic rhino. Also, one of the Japan-only G1 sequels has characters who can deploy animal-like minions from their chests a la Soundwave. One of them is a rhino.
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'': Homer sets off a chain-reaction of events at the zoo by shooting a lemur with a slingshot, that eventually culminates in a rhino stampede.
* The halberd-carrying [[Mook|Mooks]]s of Prince John in Disney's ''Robin Hood'' are rhinos. They are not portrayed as terribly bright, but they have a mean charge.
* Originally, the Disney animated film ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]'' was going to feature a rhinoceros character named Rocky (voiced by Frank Fontaine) that was going to appear at the end of the film (during the scene with the vultures), but the character was ultimately dropped from the final script.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'': The Fire Nation uses Komodo Rhinos as mounts in battle. That's right, a rhino crossed with a freakin' ''komodo dragon.''
