Giant rhinoceros beetle

Giant Rhinoceros Beetles are so named for their size, and are first seen in "Appa's Lost Days" in the hot Si Wong Desert pulling the heavy loads of the Beetle-Head Merchants.

Anatomy
This creature is a giant insect with a large green shell that protects it. It has two small black eyes and, like all insects, has six legs. It also has a large tusk-like nose.

Connection
The Giant Rhinoceros Beetle is simply an enlarged version of the Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle.

Tamed Behavior
These creatures have been domesticated, and are used like oxen to pull large, heavy loads. They are used by the Beetle-Head Merchants as pack animals and for transport. Their favorite environment and climate is the dryness of the Si Wong Desert, from which they originate, although it is likely that they can survive in other climates.
