There are two types of Arachnids referred to as Rhino Bugs: one is a worker, the other a warrior.
Rhino Warriors are the brute force units of the arachnid forces, serving as the battering rams of the alien horde. These formidable creatures are known for their immense power and exceptionally heavy armor plating, which makes them highly resistant to conventional attacks. Their speed allows them to charge at their targets with terrifying momentum. They are capable of moving at 75 kilometers, or 46 miles, per hour.
Despite their strengths, Rhino Warriors have notable weaknesses. They possess very low intelligence, making them predictable and easier to outmaneuver. Additionally, they are unable to change direction when moving at high speed, which can be exploited during combat.
The primary attack capability of Rhino Warriors is their devastating impact, using their horns to deliver fearsome blows to their targets. This makes them extremely dangerous in direct confrontations.
To effectively combat Rhino Warriors, the TAC Shotgun is recommended, particularly at point-blank range against the rear.
The Rhino Worker is a shortsighted worker bug that becomes dangerous if provoked. They were encountered by the 1st Mobile Infantry during the First Bug War.
