Rhinox

Rhinox is a species of animal that resembles a rhinoceros and a boar - it has rhino-like horns (one primary and sometimes secondary horns, knobs, or bumps), a stout and armored body with short legs, and boar-like hair.  Rhinox vary in size, with most being boar-sized but some growing to larger sizes where they have sometimes been trained as a mount.  
Rhinox are vegetarian and live primarily on Ghadjo Hwell, with some distribution to Minnet and Tockotch Hwells, although the populations there are small and competing with local boar populations.  Rhinox prefer arid landscapes for its dry shrubs and hardy roots which make up the most of its diet.
Rhinox are valued by their horns, which are harvested off deceased rhinox, although poachers have been known to kill mature rhinox to harvest their horns.  It is used as an ingredient in potion-making, valued for its medicinal qualities.
Due to their sturdiness and might, as well as their habitat on Ghadjo Hwell, they have become a favorite mount for the Orcish Monarchy.  King Kruvh himself has a rhinox mount named Bacerus who is tri-horned, bulky, and more armored than hairy, looking more like a rhino than smaller rhinox found in the wild.
