Gold Armored Rhino Yaoguai Chiefs
Location
Encountered in a stormy clearing near the Verdant Path shrine in the Foothills area. After flying out of the ravine near the shrine, steer to the right to find it.
Description
It was well known that Sun Wukong, after being tempered in Lord Lao’s Furnace, acquired a heart of gold, lungs of silver, a head of copper, and an iron body. Yet, what many might not realize is that even his seemingly invulnerable body still could feel pain when injured.
He was pinned beneath the mountain for five hundred years, with no visits from his underlings, sustained only by the mountain deities and keepers who provided him with iron pellets and molten copper. He suffered injuries from the Samadhi Wind at Yellow Wind Ridge, was trapped in the transforming gourd of the Gold and Silver Horn brothers at Flat Top Mountain, scorched unconscious by the Samadhi Fire at Withered Pine Stream, beheaded in the Kingdom of Chechi, stung on the head by the Scorpion Guai in Pipa Cave, imprisoned within the golden cymbal in the New West, captured in the golden light trap at the Temple of Yellow Flowers, had his heart gouged out in the Kingdom of Bhikku, and endured the tightening headband curse numerous times, each instance squeezing his head until it almost resembled a gourd.
Through bodily harm and mental torment, only he could guide the rest of the journeyers to the foot of Mount Lingshan. If the Golden Armored Rhino was truly transformed from the Great Sage’s golden armor as they say, it indeed mirrored the Great Sage’s indomitable spirit, never yielding to defeat. Even if its horn was shattered, it never lost the resolve to charge into battle, standing resolute and ready to fight anew.
Poetry
With thunderous horns and armor of gold so bright,
One can charge forth, the ground quaking with might.
A form of strength, no evil dares draw near,
An unyielding heart, forever held dear.
