Rhyperior (Japanese: ドサイドン Dosydon) is a Generation IV Pokémon that evolves from Rhydon.

Physiology
Rhyperior has basically the same build as its predecessor, Rhydon. Rhyperior has a club-like tail and its hide is partially covered by orange, rocky plates. Rhyperior has blade-like protrusions on its elbows and has holes in the palms of its hands. Rhyperior's body is a brownish-gray as opposed to just regular gray.
Gender differences
The upper horn on a female Rhyperior is smaller than a male's.
Special abilities
Rhyperior has the the same abilities as its previous evolutions, with the addition of being able to fire boulder boulders from its hands. However, it does have a tendency to fire Geodude instead.

Evolution
Trivia
Origin
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a rhinoceros, aspects of various dinosaurs (such as the triceratops) and a tank.
Name origin
Dosydon's name is deceptively complex. The Do part that is at the begining may be from the word 土 do, which is Japanese for ground/soil, or 怒 do, which means anger, or ど do, the Japanese prefix that makes a noun sound stronger; サイ sai, Japanese for rhinocerous; and don, a Greek word meaning tooth, commonly used in the names of dinosaurs.
Rhyperior comes from the "Rhy" of its pre-evolutions and "superior".
