This Pleistocene creature looked like a shaggy, camel with a tapir-like trunk. It had a long neck with thick limbs, and it browsed on leaves from trees and bushes.

Combat
Generally inoffensive, this creature prefers to run away from predators but if cornered it can lash out with it's hooves.

Anyone wanna add more?

Combat
Generally docile like an elephant, this creature prefers to run away from predators using Fleet of Foot ability to distance itself from predators. When cornered or in defense of it's young, the Macrauchenia lashes out with it's 2 hooves rising up and pummeling it's foes.
 


About a ton, maybe a little more. Also, it's not a "three toad" animal. Unless it's much, much different than I thought it was...

This bizarre Eocene animal was the size of a large rhinoceros and was herbivorous, but had large molar fangs. (As a side note, many herbivores of the early Cenozoic had fangs.) Six small, knobby horns appeared on its head. Uintatherium attacked with its fangs and forefeet. It could charge like a rhinoceros.

Originally appeared in Dragon Magazine #137 (1988).

Comparing this to a smaller rhino with a bite attack will be a safe bet:
Str 26, Dex 10, Con 21, Int 2, Wis 13, Cha 2

STR: 24, Dex 10, Con 19, Int 2, Wis 11, Cha 2

Size: Large
HD: 7d8
 

Let's stick with 9HD like the original stats. Other than that, what you have appeals to me, assuming our paleontology experts also think that's good.
