The Rough Rhinos are an elite group of Fire Nation cavalry. There are five members of the group, each of whom carries a different specialized weapon. They are highly skilled and able to ride their Komodo Rhinos silently through the brush. They are the men responsible for the death of Jet's parents, and the destruction of his village. The Rough Rhinos first appear in "Avatar Day". According to Iroh, the Rough Rhinos are a very talented singing group.
The Rough Rhinos are led by the gruff Colonel Mongke, who is a formidable opponent due to his quick wits and ruthless tactics. Mongke is the only Firebender in the group. He once served under Iroh in the Fire Nation army.
In the "Avatar: The Last Airbender" video game, some captains are seen riding rhinos in the forest surrounding the Forest Village.
It is unknown what has become of the Rough Rhinos since the War ended.

[edit] Trivia
- All of the riders' names are based on various Mongolians related to Genghis Khan.
- Their name is most likely a pun on the Rough Riders, a horse cavalry once led by Theodore Roosevelt.
- According to Iroh not only are the Rough Rhinos weapon specialists, but they are also a very capable singing group.
