A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:

"Write up a strategy guide including the monster's actual nastiness and any relevant behavioral quirks including weaknesses or strengths."


Baluchitheria are quadrupeds. They can be summoned by the summon nasties monster spell.

Biology

These creatures resembled modern rhinos, but possessed longer necks, had no horn, and were about three times bigger.

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.
