Rhinos

The Rhino people can be generally compared to a blend of fictitious fantasy society and members of the Rhinocerotoidea biological super-family.
Rhinos are one of the fifty-five races of anthropomorphic mammals that populate Yanìs, and are grouped in the subgenus of Mastodons together with Boars, Elephants, Hippos and Oxen.

Physically, they're quite portly and tough, with an average height that can easily reach 8 feet and weigh well over 2 tons. They have massive bodies with large heads and short, strong legs but nevertheless agile and can reach high speeds when charging. Each foot has three toes, each of which ends in wide hooves. They have dark gray, rough, and thick skin. Most of them are hairless with the exception of their ears and tail tips. However, some elderly or dominant individuals develop a fairly thick coat of dark-brown short fur. On the top of their muzzle, they always have their characteristic two horns, the shape and size of which can vary significantly for each individual.

The Rhino people are purely peaceful and quiet, and were it not for their angry tendencies and that pinch of xenophobia that often gets them carried away, the Ikora kingdom would probably be the most coveted for many races in central-southern Sarema. Although there's no lack of disputes and crimes, most of their cities live in a quiet bordering on phlegmaticity, driven partly by a common sense of "quiet living" and partly by a concern over the architectural consequences of possible clashes. The exception to this quiet is the presence of their neighbors, the Elephant people of Yphoree. Nobody can say precisely why or where this atavistic rivalry between them arose (bearing in mind that their feral cousins coexist peacefully). Some speculate that the renowned wisdom and cultural width of the Elephants is misinterpreted by the Rhinos and seen as a sign of arrogance, similar to their own angry tendencies, but this is actually just a rumor, although some Rhinos approve of this thesis.

Although they're huge and have marked angry tendencies, Rhinos are an herbivorous race that lives primarily on crops, farming, and gardening. Their wide cities consist mainly of houses built of rock bricks bound with red mud, with large domed roofs, often centrally open to accommodate rainwater into indoor wells. They're not excellent engineers or scholars, but they still possess an undoubted building and metallurgical ability and a sophisticated social philosophy. Indeed, their masters-at-arms are famous throughout the continents and sought after for their unrivaled martial arts, both hand-to-hand and with weapons. Furthermore, they're often considered primary in the so-called Phalanxes' training.
