Baluchitheria are quadrupeds. They are also considered nasty and can be summoned by the summon nasties monster spell.

Encyclopedia entry

Extinct rhinos include a variety of forms, the most

spectacular being _Baluchitherium_ from the Oligocene of

Asia, which is the largest known land mammal. Its body, 18

feet high at the shoulder and carried on massive limbs,

allowed the 4-foot-long head to browse on the higher branches

of trees. Though not as enormous, the titanotheres of the

early Tertiary were also large perissodactyls, _Brontotherium_

of the Oligocene being 8 feet high at the shoulder.
