<div class="IPBDescription">A Rhino or an Elephant?</div> Ok bit of a...random and silly question really, but its an arguement my housemate and I have been having.

What is the onos based on, an Elephant or a Rhino?

I say Rhino, cos it blatantly is, and he says Elephant...

    I'd say a cross between a charging bull and a rhino. Who knows where Squeal got his inspiration from ?

    I know its not exactly pressing attention for whoever designed the Onos, but it'd be really great to get a reply from him saying exactly what it was designed on just so i can shut my bloody housemates mouth, hes now saying its an Elephants head (cos an elephant has tusks..) with a lions body.

    Elephants can't jump. They have no ankles.

    Onos are skulks that wandered into the cargo areas of marine bases/ships and found the food stores.
    Like my grans dog they ate till they either died or ran out of food, the ones that survived became onos.

    Aright, alright, I'll put this argument to rest once and for all. The Onos was actually based off of a...drum roll please...

    ...Pygmy Hog with a little bit of Yak thrown in for good measure.

    There, satisfied?

    Alight, no, seriously, it was mostly based off of a Rhino.

    Don't know where the hell people are getting an Elephant from.

    Skulk = Dog with rabies

    Gorge = Badger or possibly a fat dog

    Lerk = Central American(?) Vampire Bat...the big ones

    Fade = Uncle Fred...you know, he has the heart burn?

    Onos = A rhino, a cow, and a jamaican.

    Its clearly obvious I thought.
