Welcome to Unevolved Gaming, today we are going to take a closer look at the Woolly Rhino

The Woolly Rhino is a large sized mammal with an appearance and shape that shows a close resemblance to its modern day
descendant the rhinoceros. It has a sturdy body covered in a thick layer of fur and a skull that is equipped with two intimidating horns.
The Woolly Rhino is a friendly herbivore that tends to live in small groups however when attacked the Woolly Rhino can be a devastating opponent

Woolly Rhino's can be found grazing in the islands snow biome and the cold area around it.

Killing a Woolly Rhino can be a very dangerous undertaking, not only is the rhino a very powerful opponent but the area it lives in can be very unforgiving due to the temperature and other creatures in the area like the Yutyrannus and Direwolf.
When under attack a Woolly Rhino will start charging towards its opponent. If a Rhino gets enough room to charge it will build up momentum to deliver a powerful blow that can kill even the largest animals in one hit. Survivors are therefor advised to use ranged weapons from higher ground or a strong and maneuverable mount that can stay clear from its devastating charges. It is also possible to stop a Woolly rhino in its tracks with a chain bola or a large bear trap however survivors will have to keep in mind that the Woolly Rhino's horns can still do considerable damage even when trapped.

When killed a Woolly Rhino can be harvested for raw meat, hide, keratin, fur and Woolly Rhino horns. Woolly Rhino horns can be used as an ingredient to craft broth of enlightenment and lesser antidote.

A Woolly Rhino can be stopped in its tracks by a large bear trap or a chain bola, however this is only for a short period of time as it will break free before it can be knocked out. It is also possible to pick up a Woolly Rhino with a Quetzal and drop it in a taming pen on a location of choice.
Survivors that don't have access to a Quetzal or play on pve can use Giant bee Honey to lure a Woolly Rhino into a taming pen. Keep in mind that the Woolly Rhino is a large creature and will only fit trough a dinosaur gateway when it is not equipped with a dinosaur gate. Survivors can use ramps or leave the taming pen open on one side and close it off when the rhino is inside the pen. It is best to build a taming pen out of stone due to the high damage output of the Woolly Rhino.
When trapped the Woolly Rhino can be knocked out fairly easy with tranquilizer arrows, darts or shocking tranquilizer darts

A Woolly Rhino being a herbivore can be tamed with vegetables and berries however it prefers Terror Bird kibble to speed up the taming process.

Only a small amount of narcoberries, narcotics or bio toxin is needed to keep a Rhino unconscious during the tame.

A saddle to ride the Woolly Rhino can be crafted in the smithy when a survivor reaches level 53 this saddle will allow survivors to make full use of their weapons while mounted on the Rhino.

Woolly Rhino's have a decent carry weight and can harvest large amounts of thatch and small amounts of wood by pressing the right trigger on your controller when near a tree, they also gather decent amounts of berries when the same attack is used on bushes.

The Woolly Rhino is often ignored by survivors due to their rather large turning radius and the fact that they can get stuck on even the smallest rock they can however knock down trees while running without even slowing down.
Despite being a herbivore the Woolly Rhino is well equipped for a fight, it has a decent health and high base damage that combined with its large knock back can already be deadly for most creatures. When running a Rhino will gain momentum indicated by a charge meter. A fully charged Rhino can do up to 12,5 times it's normal damage by pressing the right trigger on your controller when running into an opponent.

In my opinion the Woolly rhino is an extremely useful mount in both on pve and pvp. Their high damage output when fully charged can be devastating for even the largest predators.
A Woolly Rhino comes equipped with a decent carry weight and health, survivors are however advised to upgrade stamina in order to do multiple charge attacks without resting. Because the Woolly Rhino is a herbivore it might be useful to bring sweet vegetable cakes in order to keep up the rhino's health when attacking large predators.

That concludes our spotlight on the Woolly Rhino.
