[Free] Monster of the Day - Wererhino (Patreon)

In their humanoid form, wererhinos are towering and broad, often resembling exceptionally large and muscular humans with prominent, flat noses, thick necks, and robust, stocky builds. Their presence is commanding, and their movements deliberate, hinting at the immense strength they possess. They can transform into ordinary rhinos, blending effortlessly into the wild, or into a fearsome hybrid form. In hybrid form, they combine humanoid dexterity with the powerful physique of a rhino. Their leathery skin is thick and gray, providing natural armor, and their faces are dominated by a massive rhino horn, which serves as both a weapon and a symbol of their raw power. Their hybrid forms tower over most other creatures, exuding an aura of primal might and steadfast determination.

Actions

Multiattack (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only). The wererhino makes two melee weapon attacks, only one of which can be its gore.

Maul (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage.

Gore (Hybrid or Rhino Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) piercing damage. If the wererhino moves at least 20 ft. straight toward a target and then hits it with a gore attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 9 (2d8) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 16 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Change Shape. The wererhino uses its action to polymorph into a rhino-humanoid hybrid or into a Large rhino, or back to its true form, which is humanoid. Its statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
