A massive woolly mass of muscle towers over the tundra, its distinctive grand horn clearly visible on its nose, which peers out from underneath the matted hair covering its awesome frame.

The mammalian progenitors of the Janni species, the Tundran Nosorog is a towering mass of hairy muscle that lumbers slowly across the snow-encrusted plains and mountains of Iceland regions. They are typically docile and are herbivores, but one should never stand in the path of an angry Nosorog, who can weigh over 2 tonnes.
Nosorogs have been traced as one of the progenitor species that are attributed to the evolution of the Janni species. When their genetic information is combined with that of the second progenitor species, the Quad Snake, it results in a prehistoric hominid species, much resembling the Cross Hair. However, whilst fossil records do show this form of interbreeding between Nosorogs and Quad Snakes, this form of interbreeding is not known to occur naturally in the wild at present.
Nosorogs are sometimes domesticated and used as pack animals or the Jannic equivalent of horses for privileged owners, though children enjoy the simple company of a tamed Nosorog.
Due to their large size and environment, Nosorogs have few natural predators, the biggest of which is the Berg Shark who will often leap out of the water at drinking Nosorogs. They use their impressive horns to sift through the snow for the moss and plants that survive beneath, and whilst they are known to drink from iced lakes, they can survive from condensation created from their breath for some time.

Combat
Exothermic (Ex): Nosorogs produce their own body heat internally and maintain a constant temperature. However, this temperature is adapted for the icy cold snow of the Iceland areas of Jannah, which can reach highs of just below 0° Fahrenheit (-17.78° Celsius). As a result, a Nosorog in regions of warmer climate begins suffering from hot conditions in weather of at least 1° F/-17.22° C, severe heat at least 20° F/-6.67° C, and extreme heat at least 50° F/10° C.
Powerful Charge (Ex): A Nosorog deals 4d6+26 points of damage when it makes a charge.
Snow Treader (Ex): Nosorogs only take half the movement penalty for heavy snow, costing 2 squares of movement instead of 4.
Trample (Ex): Reflex half DC 14. The save DC is Strength-based.

Okay, without posting the D&D Future rules or the Jannic Dictionary, that's everything

[Dthclaw]

Oh lord, you went and tried to merge D&D rules with Future? Have fun when that pile of worms eats your group :/

I actually didn't try to merge them with D20 Future, I tried to come up with my own, somewhat successfully. However, the rules are very expansive and I'd rather not post them here, because it would probably take me a good few hours that I don't have.

[Dthclaw]

Heh. Just make sure you get some road testing done with them thar rules - I guarantee that rules in practice will operate far differently than intended.

[Lyinginbedmon]

No comments for the local wildlife then?

[Dthclaw]

Aside from the fact that I'm unclear whether it's a yeti or a freakish yak and you used a silly spelling for 'tons,' no, I have no comments

[Lyinginbedmon]

Well I'm fully open to suggestions

(Also, it's similar to a giant Woolly Rhino, especially the Elasmotherium, and it's "Tundran" as in "From the Tundra". Aesthetically, they look a lot like the Dire Rhinoceros of the Fiend Folio)

[Dthclaw]

Okay, that helps on visualizing them.

Otherwise, you seem to be on a roll. Keep it up.
