Description

This is an immense, four-legged creature with thick limbs, a coarse brown-gray hide, and a heavy torso. Its towering form can reach far into the forest canopy above.

Also known as the paraceratherium, this huge beast is an extinct relative of the rhinoceros. Possibly the largest land mammal that ever existed, they dwelled only in parts of the Asian continent from 30 to 20 million years ago. The adult stood 18 ft. at the shoulders and 22 ft. in length, with a hornless skull that was over three feet long. Undoubtedly a vegetarian, the baluchitherium browsed among the tree branches like a giraffe. However, a heavy neck and long, straight legs allowed this beast to reach much higher branches.

Combat

When threatened the immense baluchitherium will stomp on its attacker, then advance to trample any remaining opponents.

Trample (Ex): Reflex half DC 28. The save DC is Strength-based.
