Lightning rhinoceros
The lightning rhinoceros lives in the Pristine Prairie. Like many other creatures on the prairie, they received their powers during the Rending. The prairie was one of the focal points of many metamorphoses, making it one of the most dangerous places in Tacillia.
The lightning rhinoceros have quite a few differences from the normal rhinoceros. Their skin color is slightly paler and has a light blue hue. Rivers and other watering holes are a danger to every herbivore but are more perilous for lightning rhinoceros because the water drains their energy from their bodies. Juicy plants, like the dwarf ananas, indirectly threaten them because if the plant has enough water, it can drain a lightning rhinoceros, like rivers. They are immune to each other's lightning, so mating and gestation are not an issue. When the calf is born, they already possess their abilities. Their mother charges them up during birth. Their hooves contain rubber-like material. These hooves, or the footwear made from the hooves, are highly sought-after products among treasure hunters. Their meat tastes like iron because of the energy content in it. Before consuming, it is wise to wash the beef rigorously to eliminate the remnant energy. Like regular rhinoceros, they are loners except for mating and when a mother lives with her calf.
If it is possible at all, they are even more dangerous than regular rhinoceros. Their eyesight is much better, and they have the same temper. It is a common situation that a lightning rhinoceros using their energy, supercharges the air and calls down a bolt of lightning on anything at a distance. When closer, they can strike their target with lightning from their horns. And when their mark is next to them, they can impale, trample and electrocute their opponent.
On a few occasions, treasure hunters found lightning rhinoceros footprints next to ancient technologies. It has yet to be confirmed that they do this on purpose or find these devices by accident, but they can charge themselves using archaic equipment.
It would be interesting to test that my poison makes them unconscious first, or they electrocute me. Probably I'll lose
