Dire Rhinos are among the most feared of all dire animals, due to their unpredictability, great strength, and ability to lay waste to entire cities.
A dire rhino resembles a rhino of titanic proportions with short brown fur and red eyes. The Dire Rhino has three horns.

Combat:
Dire Rhinos are known to charge anything they think is a threat, charging forth and not stopping until they either hit something harder than they are or fall down from exhaustion. Fortunatly their eyesight is quite poor.
Trample (Ex): As a standard action during it's turn each round, the Dire Rhino can litterally run over an opponent at least one size catagory smaller than itself. The Dire Rhino simply has to move over the opponent. The trample deals 2d8+24 points of bludgeoning damage.
A trampled opponentcan attempt attacks of oppertunity against the dire rhino, but they incure a -4 penalty. If the trampled creature does not make attacks of oppertunity, it can attempt a Reflex save for half damage (DC: 38)

Wouldn't something that big have a stomp attack? It can't skewer everything (blasted halflings...) so it has to step on stuff too.
