* The halberd-carrying {{Mooks}} of Prince John in ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood'' are rhinos. They are not portrayed as terribly bright, but they have a mean charge.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Vectorman 2}}'', there are rhino beetle enemies in Stage 14, "[[UndergroundLevel Cave Fear]]", who charge at Vectorman when they see him. When he destroys them, they leave behind power-ups that temporarily transform him into a rhino, allowing him to charge like they do.

* The Wallop species in ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'' is based on rhinos in appearance.

** ''Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman'' gives us our first rhino-themed ranger, Jun'ichi Aikawa[=/=]Green Sai ("sai" being Japanese for "rhino"), a high school rugby player intent on avenging the death of his sister at the hands of the BigBad. He also has a brotherly relationship with [[ALoadOfBull Black Bison Tetsuya Yano]].

* Averted in ''Pinball/PopeyeSavesTheEarth'' -- all of the rhinos in the game are friendly, docile, and endangered.

* In an episode of ''Series/OnlyFoolsAndHorses'', Rodney is trying to come up with an idea for a feature film. Del suggests "There's a Rhino Loose in the City". Once the sheer implausibility of this is explored (How do you lose a rhino and not notice? Where would it hide? And what is it doing in the city?), a deflated Del sarcastically suggests that they change the title to "There's a Rhino Loose out in the Sticks Where No Sod Lives".

->''Love is like a rhino, short-sighted and hasty; if it cannot find a way, it will '''make''' a way.''

* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': Rhinos have been a predominantly Green creature type since [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=27249 Crash of Rhinos]] from Mirage, and often get the keyword Trample (meaning that if they deal more damage to a creature than would kill it they deal the rest of it to the defending player as if they had steamrolled right over their target), and occasionally an ability limiting the other player's ability to block them.
** The biggest rhino in the game comes from ''Khans of Tarkir'' in the form of [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=386666 Siege Rhino]], one of the huge war beasts used by the Abzan Houses.
** There are also the Rhox, humanoid rhinoceri from Alara that unlike their bestial cousins lean towards White, the color of order, and are known for being fearsome, unwavering soldiers and knights.

* Rhinos can be one of the potential villagers that can move into your town in ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing''. However one of the most popular villagers is a Rhino named Merengue. She happens to be pink and [[AnthropomorphicFood her head resembles a slice of cake with a strawberry for a horn]]. Her personality sets her as far away from the rhino stereotype as you can get, but other ones veer more into JerkWithAHeartOfGold territory.

* ''VideoGame/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft'': The Tundra Rhino is a basic Hunter minion that gives Beast-type minions the "Charge" ability, letting them attack the same turn they come into play.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'': Woolly rhinos, found in the [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Hebra region]], are a downplayed example. They're peaceful herbivores that will flee from Link and monsters should they spot them but, if Link startles one while standing in front of it, it will charge him down and deal a fair amount of damage while doing so.

* Season 5 of ''VideoGame/FallGuysUltimateKnockout'' introduces mechanical Rhinos in certain levels, most notably the Survival round "Stompin' Ground". They periodically go berserk and charge at players, flinging them far away if they don't avoid them in time.

* Season 5 of ''VideoGame/FallGuysUltimateKnockout'' introduces mechanical Rhinos in certain levels, most notably the Survival round "Stompin' Ground". They periodically go berserk and charge at players, which can cause them to be flung far away if they don't avoid them in time.

* ''Literature/APorcupineNamedFluffy'' features a rhinoceros character with the name of... ...Hippo. He starts out very antagonistic, threatening to give Fluffy "a rough time," but eventually, [[SubvertedTrope he and the little porcupine bond over their contradictory names''.

Fun fact: A group of rhinos is called a "crash".

* The second to last animal Mad Madam Mim turns into during the WizardDuel from ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'' is a pink rhinoceros, which is then thrown off a cliff and into a river by Merlin (now turned into a ram), but then Mim comes out [[LoopholeAbuse in the form of a...]]

* ''Film/{{Jumanji}}'' features several summoned rhinos, including one that casually shoulders aside a police car. This particular rhino gets its own gameplay mechanic in the tie-in boardgame. Simply put, when you land on a space with a rhino on it, you can use the rhino to block your adversaries' path. Subverted with another member of the rhino herd, a short, overweight specimen whose lumbering walk and weary, huffing breath are PlayedForLaughs. ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle'' features a herd of albino rhinos during the sequel's group trip to return the Jaguar's Eye to the Jaguar statue.

* The ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' often favored morphing into rhinos (and elephants) for situations requiring lots of collateral damage. Jake originally acquired his when he needed to smash through the walls of a heavily guarded compound, and Marco got one in book 22 for pretty much the same reason (though he only ever used it the one time).

* ''Literature/{{Bravelands}}'' has rhinos which resent elephants for having the Great Mother as their matriarch. They even start acting aggressive towards Sky the elephant for stumbling across them and refuse to let her speak reasonably. A case of rhinos actually charging is when Fearless the lion stumbles across a rhino herd while on his travels. The rhinos' aggressive reputation gets harder in ''Code Of Honor'', where it's revealed that [[spoiler:Stronghide had murdered the Great Mother, though goaded into doing so by Stinger]]. Also in this book, Stronghide boasts that a rhino can easily replace an elephant as a Great Parent and is even willing to become the Great Father of the Bravelands.

** Broud, the main antagonist of "The Clan of the Cave Bear", has a woolly rhinoceros totem. His personality traits include impulsiveness, being quick to anger and resenting those (especially Ayla) who detract attention from him.
** In "The Valley of Horses", Thonolan is gored by a woolly rhino, leading to him and Jondalar meeting the Sharamudoi, the tribe into which Thonolan marries.
** Towards the end of their post-Matrimonial isolation in "The Shelters of Stone", Ayla and Jondalar come across a group of adolescent boys baiting a woolly rhino. Needless to say, none of the boys have any experience hunting rhinos and one of them ends up getting injured.

* At the start of ''Literature/JamesAndTheGiantPeach'', both of James' parents are killed (specifically, [[ArtisticLicenseBiology eaten]]) by an escaped rhino. TheFilmOfTheBook makes it worse. The Rhino is basically turned into an EldritchAbomination made of clouds that represents all of James' fears.

* In [[Literature/JustSoStories The Just-So Story]] "How the Rhinoceros Got his Skin", the titular rhino is a foul tempered, bullying [[JerkAss jerk]].

* The picture book ''A Porcupine Named Fluffy'' features a rhinoceros character with the name of... ...Hippo.
