Anatomy of a Rhinoat

The Rhinoat started off as a joke early on in the Aire'Nevahn campaign. Hutch, the purple haired bounty hunter gnome needed a bit of a back story for why she had had previous dealings with the street sweeping philosopher Shaajid. So the players come up with an brief recap of an adventure that involved the chase of a half goat half rhino creature.
As the campaign carried on, the story of this creature evolved. The rhinoat is in fact a sacred mount for gnomish warriors from Hutch's home. Eventually, we even met up with a few rhinoats and Hutch got a mount.
As the twists and turns of the plot demanded that Mr Wells needed to be hidden from spiritual detection, there was only one natural thing to do. Turn him into a rhinoat.
I am now playing a rhinoat.
What started off as a little bit of a joke has now become my character. Mr. Wells does not mind it so much as part of the proper treatment of a rhinoat is to constantly scratch it behind the ears.
