Rhi-snow

Map
The Rhi-Snow lives in its territory (the Rhi-Snow Territory specifically).

Background
Many rumors circulated throughout the waste, complexes, and outpost throughout the world that such an evil would rise in December 2016. After rigorous exploring and weeks spent searching, it was confirmed to be no more than mere fiction, but later searches confirmed its existence. Survivors have found the one of the most rarest, dangerous species in Earth: the Rhi-Snow, a rhino with a hide of hardened ice and the power of 50 men.

Summary
This was a cut boss for R2DA 2016 Christmas event. Some of the players were hyped for its release in debug until PlaceRebuilder had recently announced: "ITS PAPA G. BREAD NOW". In conclusion, PlaceRebuilder changed his mind to create the Rhi-Snow, as it is the most original of the two boss ideas.

Moves
The Rhi-snow boss has four main attacks.


 * If he unleashes a roar, he is summoning numerous ice tornadoes! The tornadoes don't deal any damage, but they will fling you around and freeze your character. Be careful as the boss can easily attack you while frozen.
 * If he stomps on the ground, icicles will rain around survivors. The icicles deal slight damage and can fling you.
 * If he stomps the ground, he could also be using his deadliest move, the ground slam. The move sends a wave of ice crystals in explosions. This move will kill anyone hit by the explosions instantly, much like the King Crab boss.
 * To avoid the Rhi-Snow's Slam Ground, try not to face the boss' direction.
 * His most common move is the horn charge. He will charge into players. Anyone hit is flung and takes damage. The boss doesn't travel very fast so avoid the charge by simply sprinting to the right or left.

Tips

 * Use any weapon that deals more damage, such as the Minigun and the Spas-12.
 * The M1A1 Thompson is recommended especially.
 * The Flamethrower would most likely be the most effective against this boss, as the Rhi-Snow was born from ice and snow.
 * Molotovs are useful to do some extra damage to this boss, so it is highly recommended that you equip it while facing the boss in combat.


 * When the Ice Tornadoes take effect, it is advised to either take the hit to be frozen. Stand by one of the Ammo tables or risk your life losing health in the cold, frigid water so you can still attack.
 * Avoid the Slam Ground attack at any cost as getting hit directly, or getting caught in the blast will instantly kill anyone without the proper equipment.
 * Do not stand on its back, or your health will be damaged by its sharp spikes.
 * Explosives such as Grenades and Pipebombs are useful to damage the Rhi-Snow's health even more.
 * It is possible to perform a glitch where players use the defibrillator to stun Rhi-Snow and send him flying, and possibly out of the map, guaranteeing an instant win. Although this is risky and does not send him off the map most of the time, it is worth it in the end.

Trivia

 * This is the second Christmas Boss to be added to R2DA.
 * The third boss to be developed as an animal.
 * The Rhi-Snow is the first cut and re-added boss.
 * The Rhi-Snow was the successor of the Gatekeeper in the R2D Winter Event.
 * This boss is very similar to Yeti boss in the Winter Event in 2015.
 * This map is also similar to Yeti's Cave (except the Rhi-Snow lives in the middle of the Arctic Ocean).
 * Unless you count Lord Pumpkin Jr.'s 500k health, this is the highest amount of health a boss has gotten.
 * Like the King Crab boss, the max health isn't fixed as it depends on the amount of players on the server.
