type:"Rhino" |
Rhino is a creature type used for cards that depict mammals with thick armored skin and protuberant horns that grow from their nose.
Description[ | ]
Rhinos mainly appear in green and white. The first creature to bear the type was Crash of Rhinos in Mirage, though the artifact Ebony Rhino from Homelands was later issued errata to become a Rhino as well.
Storyline[ | ]
Rhinos can be found in multiple planes. There is only one known variation of it that can be classified as sapient beings, the Rhox.
Ravnica[ | ]
On Ravnica, a large rhino with two horns placed side-by-side on their snouts known as a Ceratok is feared throughout the city for its rampaging. Its hide may be used for bolt-proof chestplates.
Rhox[ | ]
Originally, the Rhox was just a beast, but the Starter 2000 promo and accompanying television advertisement featured it as an anthropomorphic rhino warrior/soldier.[1][2] Accordingly, it was erratad as a Rhino Beast in the Grand Creature Type Update. Later on, this design was used as a basis for the Rhoxes in Alara.
Alara[ | ]
On Alara, before the Conflux, Rhoxes were exclusively found on Bant, where they usually preferred the roles of warrior-monks and ascetics.[3] Rhoxes have a solitary nature combined with an innate dedication to spiritual contemplation. They have a reputation for physical prowess and an impatience for those who disagree with them. Those rhoxes that don't turn to spiritual retreat usually become muscle in groups of Unbeholden, the lawless caste that has turned against the rules of Bant society.
Arcavios[ | ]
Rhox on Arcavios are known to attend Quandrix college of Strixhaven.
Capenna[ | ]
Capennan rhox are quite common, being members of the Riveteers, Cabaretti, and Brokers. They make up a great deal of the city's underground boxing scene.
Universes Beyond[ | ]

The Judoon from Doctor Who are a race of humanoid Alien Rhinos that are frequently employed as a mercenary police force. They are known to be brutish and single-minded in carrying out their tasks, without regard for unintended consequences of their actions.
