About

This creature appears as a giant beetle with a grayish-brown carapace and wing casings and a large brownish-black “horn” between its mandibles.

These creatures are found in the warm jungles and forests of the world and spend their days searching for plants, fruits, and berries on which to sustain themselves. An adult rhinoceros beetle is about 12 feet long.

Rhinoceros beetles charge opponents, biting with their razor-sharp mandibles and slashing with their horn.
