Giant Ox
CharacterThe Giant Ox is one of Nagato's Animal Path summons, a bull of enormous scale fitted with black receivers and the Rinnegan. It relies on brute charging power and shares its sight with Nagato through its transplanted eyes.
Appearance
The summon carries the build of a common ox blown up in size. Black receivers pierce its head and legs, and the Rinnegan in its eyes shows that Pain is steering it. Brown fur blankets its frame, black horns crown its head, and a small tail trails behind.
Abilities
Its bulk alone gives it tremendous raw power for barreling into targets. The Rinnegan does double duty as well, letting it feed into the pooled field of vision that Nagato shares across his beasts.

History
Pain first sends the ox against Jiraiya, driving him down into the sewers with its charge. The moment Jiraiya slips into Sage Mode, though, he swats it aside and flings it off with its left horn snapped clean away, prompting Nagato to recall it. It comes back during the assault on Konoha, where Naruto's Sage Art: Big Ball Rasengan leaves it badly battered before Gamahiro finishes it off.
