Rhyperior (Japanese: ドサイドン Dosydon) is a Generation IV Pokémon that evolves from Rhydon.
Biology
Physiology
Rhyperior has basically the same build as its predecessor, Rhydon. Rhyperior has a club-like tail and its hide is partially covered by orange, rocky plates. Rhyperior has blade-like protrusions on its elbows and has holes in the palms of its hands. Rhyperior's body is a brownish-gray as opposed to just regular gray.
Gender differences
The upper horn on a female Rhyperior is smaller than a male's.
Special abilities
Rhyperior has the the same abilities as its previous evolutions, with the addition of being able to fire boulders from its hands. However, it will occasionally fire Geodude by accident.
Behavior
Habitat
Rhyperior live far up in the mountains. That's why finding one can be difficult.

Evolution
Trivia
Origin
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a rhinoceros, aspects of various dinosaurs (such as the triceratops) and a tank.
Name origin
Dosydon's name is deceptively complex. The Do part that is at the begining may be from the word 土 do, which is Japanese for ground/soil, or 怒 do, which means anger, or ど do, the Japanese prefix that makes a noun sound stronger; サイ sai, Japanese for rhinocerous; and don, a Greek word meaning tooth, commonly used in the names of dinosaurs.
Rhyperior comes from the "Rhy" of its pre-evolutions and "superior".
