Description: The 'Triceratops' of the Rhino family, which this mammal has the way that they eat, and lived in(except that Triceratops doesn't eat anything poisonous), and due to their multiple horns, which their head-top horns are made of bone, skin, and keratin, altogether, and their nasal horns, like all rhinos, are made out of keratin. And what else, this creature is based on the scary monster whose based on the real encounters of a wildebeest, the Catoblepas! The Catoblepas whose a mythic creature with a head of a wild-boar/aurochs hybrid, and thin longneck of a giraffe, bulky body of a fat black Cape buffalo with stubby short limbs like a hippopotamus, with a long tail with an Ankylosaurus-like tail-balls, with deadly bloodshot eyes, along with its smelly stinky breath. Legends in Africa, says that the gloomy Catoblepas can use their bloodshot eyes and their smelly stinky breath, turned any creature(except for their own kind) into stone, and/or kill one of those with poison. What's next, the Bonnacon, the monster that looks like a bull, that can use farts and poop to burn their pursuers, in order to escape from them?! Yes it might be the Bonnacon! What else, this might be the Gorgon, but it might not confused with the Greek mythical humanoids with 'snake' like hairs, that can turn anyone(except for their own kind) into stone! I meant the Gorgon, the monster that resembled the Khalkatauroids with similar degrees of the Catoblepas. I hate to be so rude to you guys, but the Ingitiszoan Catoblepas, might be the same animals as the mythic Catoblepas, Gorgon, and Bonnacon, altogether! The Ingitiszoan Catoblepas had variable social units, from one solitairy animal whose male or female, to a pairs(A: A mating pair. B: A bond between mother and calf), and to large herds. A big herd of the Catoblepases are called "crashes" or "pods," consisted of 12 males, 12 females, several other calves, all lead by a mating pair. Like muskoxen and Triceratops, the Catoblepases can circle around the weak/frail, young, old, stupid/dumb/silly, and/or sick members of the herds from predators. The predators of the Catoblepases, are lions, hyenas, crocodilians, kalpanas, hyapins, dragons, hose-nosed bears. Other predators who can prey upon small or young Catoblepases, like hyapins, weislies, small big cats, gryphons, seths, leucrottas, brainshrinkers, and even lung dragons. Besides the animal predators, who are worser than them, but even as worse as the daemons, are the humanoids who are poachers, they can hunt them for their horns, thick skin, fur, blubber, and even their eyes, and their smell. Not all humanoids are poachers, some can use the captive Catoblepases for their milk, and even the "Death cheese." Males and females looked a lot like each other, but females have bigger udders, much like a cow of your average domestic cattle. Unlike the captive ones, most Catoblepases are not available to be domesticated, because their too aggressive, and not very bright, but they can not only poison and turn any non-Catoblepas creatures into stone with eyes and breathe, along with burning the pursuers with farts and poop, but they can charge, trample, and gore to death. Please watch out for these furious multi-horned rhinos, even though they have similar social behaviors of the Ceratotherium(White Rhinoceros) and the Great Rhinoceros altogether, but they are even more aggressive in the wild than most rhinos, even included the Diceros(aka Black Rhinoceros)

OK KallyToonsStudios , no need to ask me for suggestions of what's next, and about the mentionables. It's very nice, but sometimes, it may bug and/or annoy me. Thank you really much. And about my depictions of the Catoblepas, it is more of a rhino than a wildebeest(aka gnu).

Cool! Now how would you tell the difference between a male and a female? I imagine males have large horns and females have shorter ones, along with a cow-like udder. Think you could do something like that?

Oh dear. I just realized something. The head is too high. All the stories say a Catoblepas' horns are so large and heavy that it makes them walk around with their heads down all day. And close those eyes! A Catoblepas always have their eyes closed, because theyir eyesight is poisonous. If they ever look anyone in the eye, that person will die in an instant.

I don't know, but naw... I didn't mean to upset you. But hey, I depict that the Catoblepas's head was heavy, so people can use their sunglasses to block the creature's sight, or just not to look their eyes. Also they don't have to sniff at the creature's smell from their breath.
