Appearance

Built like a wrestler and crowned with a rhinoceros head, this monster stood upright on two legs while keeping the animal's massive bulk. Layers of thick, armor-like hide sheathed his frame. He competed in a singlet, wore a band around each arm, and bore a large tattoo across his stomach.

Personality

Pride steered nearly everything Rhino Wrestler did. He lived to measure his power against others and hungered for recognition, at one point fishing for Phoenix Man's read on his disaster level. He waved off the notion of matching monsters to particular heroes, insisting his one method was to flatten whoever stood before him. What set him apart from the pack was discipline: rather than coast on raw instinct, he put himself through constant training to sharpen his fists.

Abilities

Rhino Wrestler stood as a Demon-level threat, a rank he reached by grinding upward from Tiger through sheer effort. His strength was staggering, enough to drop Mohican and Pineapple together in one blow, pulverize a punching bag made of chained heavy tires, and hurl back waves of A, B, and C-Class heroes. His hide and horn shrugged off strike after strike; the horn alone withstood Iaian's sword, a blade that had once carved through Tongara's battle suit. He hit with startling speed too, rattling off rapid punches and deflecting sniper rounds from One Shotter with his horn. His whole method was to knock down all comers and coldly grade their techniques, scoring weaker heroes poorly and stalling only when Iaian's strike briefly checked him.

During the monster raid he tore through the second wave of attackers, brushing aside Needle Star, Mizuki, Jet Nice Guy, Shadow Ring, and a coordinated group assault alike. Iaian managed to hold him for a moment before Atomic Samurai stepped in, vowing to sever the horn himself. Rhino Wrestler goaded the swordsman into using a finishing move so he could grade it. In an instant Atomic Samurai's Atomic Slash took the horn and then the monster, cutting him into countless pieces before he grasped what had happened. Realizing Gyoro Gyoro had lied about him being strong enough to beat the S-Class, he handed the hero a perfect hundred as his dying words.
