The lontodon is a creature I created based off of a race I created in Spore and have used in a few different campaigns now. I've been creating a large number of homebrew creatures for use in my campaign setting and I wanted to share them with the Playground.

A lontodon stands between 8 to 10 feet tall and weighs about 800 pounds. It has scaly, mottled light purple skin with powerfully built arms and legs and oversized claws, its head reminiscent of a hippo's with the tusks and snout of a boar. The lontodon is a highly aggressive and territorial creature but is primarily a herbivore, eating plants, grubs and climbing trees to reach fruit, though it is known to scavenge when the opportunity presents itself. They have a simple tribal society, revering various powerful animals, and seeing themselves as being superior due to their likeness to powerful animals such as hippos and boars. They are particularly aggressive during mating season, where in some extreme cases male loxodons will battle to the death.
Combat
A lontodon will usually begin combat by performing an Overrun attempt. They will then attempt to grapple their opponents and unleash a flurry of natural attacks until their opponent is dead.
Keratin Hide (Ex): The hide of a lontodon is studded with keratin spikes, causing any opponent engaged in a grapple with a loxodon or attacking a loxodon with a natural or unarmed strike to take 1d8 points of damage.
Frenzy (Ex):Whenever a lontodon takes damage in combat, it is provoked into a battle frenzy by means of a rush of adrenaline. It gains +4 Strength, +4 to Constitution, and -2 to Armor Class. It cannot end its frenzy voluntarily, and at the end of combat it is considered fatigued.
