#0006 - Bouldocerous
You may ask; "If this is a medieval-type fantasy world, how come there are Rhinoceros-Robots running around?"
Well, the answer would be Time Magicians. There are rituals that can be performed that allow a Magic User to reach into portals that stretch far into the future and pull back items that wouldn't be invented for thousands of years.
However, these rituals don't allow them to see what they are grabbing, and since the components to make the rituals take place are so costly and expensive, they make sure to make use of whatever gets pulled into their world.
Time Magicians will then backwards engineer things that are acquired and begin to try and market it to recoup the cost of the components to perform the ritual in the first place. This is why things like Megaphones, Batteries, Spandex, Rubber Tires and Light bulbs exist in this world...as well as Rhinoceros-Robots.
Bestiary Description:
Of the unnatural beasts among this land, there are few more useful as the Bouldocerous. This patented mechanized machine can crush stones to gravel beneath its feet, split boulders into pieces with its mighty tail and even defend its quarry from would-be robbers. If you need any landscaping or construction work performed, you would be a fool not to purchase one.
