Rhi-snow

Summary
This was the boss for Christmas 2016. PlaceRebuilder, while working on this boss, briefly scrapped it, and announced: '''"ITS PAPA G. BREAD NOW". '''After a brief reconsideration, PlaceRebuilder changed his mind and finished the boss. Rhi-snow has a variant health pool depending on players, and has four attacks.

The Rhi-snow lives in its territory, specifically named the Rhi-snow Territory.

Background Story
Many rumors circulated throughout the wastelands, complexes, and outposts throughout the world that an evil would rise in December 2016. After rigorous exploring and weeks spent searching, the rumors were disregarded to be no more than mere fiction, but a dedicated team confirmed its existence. Survivors have found the one of the rarest, dangerous species on Earth: the Rhi-snow. A rhino with a hide of hardened ice and the power of 50 men.

Rewards

 * 200 EXP
 * Tickets upon the area in where the Rhi-snow died
 * "Won Christmas Event 2016" badge.
 * Chests (# of which depend on the survivors) which may contain:
 * Multiples of both regular and event items.
 * Multiples of the Gift of Peace.
 * Varying amounts of cash.
 * Nothing at all.

Tips

 * Use any weapon that deals more damage overall.
 * The Thompson is recommended with Bulldozer armor.
 * The Flamethrower would most likely be the most effective against this boss, as the Rhi-snow was born from ice and snow.


 * Recommended items to bring are pills, medkits, molotovs, and grenades.
 * Avoid Ice Tornadoes when possible, it can toss you right in front of Rhi-snow.
 * Avoid Slam Ground at any cost as getting hit directly, or getting caught in the blast will instantly kill anyone without the proper equipment.
 * Until v0.9.0, It was possible to use the defibrillator to send Rhi-snow flying with a chance of it flying off the map entirely, causing a win.
 * If not successful, Rhi-snow would teleport back to the centre of the map mostly as if nothing had happened.
 * If you are stuck under the boss, simply crouch and when you are free you can stop crouching, doing this will have a greater chance of you not being flung.
 * You will be stunned and damaged simply by touching the horn, so try to avoid his face.

 * If you're into math, the formula is y = 10,000x + 100,000, with x representing the amount of players on the server, and y representing the total HP of Rhi-snow.
 * Its name is a portmanteau of "Rhino" and "Snow".
 * Rhi-snow's Ground Pound can be shot and still hit a player from above.
