Spined Rhodox
Spined Rhodoxs are impressive and dangerous horned creatures, that are close relatives to the Grox.[1]
Description
However, while they are common in many systems, the Rhodox are not as prevalent. The worlds they are found in, however, are notably infested with dense Ork populations, who the creatures have formed an interesting relationship with. While the Rhodox are not readily domesticiated by the Xenos, certain tribes of Orks have adopted hunting the creatures as a form of initation for their potential clan leaders. Those who manage to return with a set of the Rhondox's horns, become highly revered in the Xenos' society and are often rewarded by their clans with the elite positions of Nob or even Warboss.[1]
Trivia
The Spined Rhodox's miniature was created by the Games Workshop employee Stuart Spengler. It was featured in an older version of Games Workshop's website.[1]
