Rhynocs

Rhynocs are common, rhinoceros-like enemies that first appeared in Spyro: Year of the Dragon under the service of the Sorceress. They made later appearances in Spyro: Season of Ice, Spyro 2: Season of Flame and Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs, serving as henchmen to the main villains in each of these games (Grendor and Ripto respectively) and thus are a main enemy frequently encountered by Spyro.
==Story==
===Spyro: Year of the Dragon===
The Rhynocs served as the Sorceress's main attack force, acting on her orders to terrorize the Forgotten Realms and enforce her rule. When Spyro came to reclaim the stolen Dragon Eggs, the Rhynocs were dispatched to dispose of him, with Bianca referring to them as their "expertly trained armies" when she tried to scare Spyro off. They are hostile enemies to Spyro in the majority of the realms within the Forgotten Worlds, with few of them being turned into monsters by Bianca and the Sorceress in attempts to destroy Spyro, only to end up destroyed themselves.
===Spyro: Season of Ice===
After the Sorceress's defeat, the Rhynocs discovered that they had no sole purpose, even when they served her. Many of them were left jobless or had to take less-than-ideal day jobs. They were soon employed by a large, manacial Rhynoc named Grendor, who then sent them to gather for him the 100 fairies he had frozen to give him more power and to fight off Spyro.
===Spyro 2: Season of Flame and Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs===
After Grendor's defeat (and reformation), the Rhynocs once again felt unneeded and useless, until they were employed by Ripto. Ripto controlled the Rhynocs when not using his army of Riptocs during the events of the Season of Flame, and after stealing the Professor's Laboratory in Attack of the Rhynocs. Rhynocs have not been seen since.

==Trivia==
*While pronouncing "Rhynocs," it sounds similar to the name of the Transformers: Beast Wars character, Rhinox.
*The Rhynocs are the second species in the Spyro series to resemble Rhinos (the first being the Snail Rhinos). 
*In Spyro: Year of the Dragon, some of the Rhynocs' faces bear a strong resemblance to Ripto.
