Rhoxodon

The war-horns echoed across the fields as the ground shook beneath the orc's feet. They were used to being the king of the fields of war but as the Rhoxodon battalion crested the hill the orc army felt fear for the first time in a long time. The Rhoxodon were not to be trifled with even by the eldest of Orcish war chiefs. If there is one thing the Rhoxodon are good at it is war and destruction. Like living wrecking balls the Rhoxodon excel at punching through both barricades and the lines of thier enemies. When a Rhoxodon charges there isn't much that can stop them.
