The Swinoceros is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Swinoceroses are rhinoceros monsters with a shaggy mane around their necks and an extra pair of horns on their backs. They attack primarily by performing violent charges and thrusts against their opponents, sometimes knocking them down or completely ejecting them from combat. Their names are a combination of the words "swine" and "rhinoceros".

There are two different types of Swinoceros, but both share the same entry in the defeated monster list, abilities, resistance tables, and item drops. The ones faced at Tower of Nod have much higher attributes and drop more experience and gold, as well.
