The giant rhinoceros beetle is about 20ft long and 10ft wide, and is found in the tropical forests of the equatorial regions. It has a single huge horn extending in front of its body, and is has a heavily armoured body. They roam the forests eating fruit from trees and the occasional unsuspecting animal. While on the ground they destroy just about everything in their path. While they can fly, they are slow and clumsy at it.
Combat
A giant rhinoceros beetle will attack anything it considers food or a threat, usually by charging them with its gore attack.
Powerful Charge (Ex): When a giant rhinoceros beetle makes a charge, its gore attack deals double damage in addition to the normal benefits and hazards of a charge.
Vermin Traits: Vermin are mindless - they have no intelligence score and are immune to all mind-affecting effects. They have no sense of morality and are always neutral. They have 60ft. darkvision and any treasure they possess (which is usually none) consists of the property of former victims.
