His true form is, like his name suggests, an azure bull.

Personality

The Single Horned Rhinoceros King is a typical Journey to the West demon who likes to capture and eat humans, and desires to eat Xuanzang so he can live forever. He is also a dishonorable fighter, often resorted to cheat by using the Golden Jade Ring to win. Because of this, despite being weaker than many demons, the Single Horned Rhinoceros King is very arrogant, believed that no one can defeat him until when Taishang Laojun arrives and subdues him.

Biography

Due to a stupid mistake of stealing the demon's clothes (believed that the castle is abandoned), Zhu Bajie caused himself, Sha Wujing and their master Xuanzang to be captured by the Single Horned Rhinoceros King during Sun Wukong's absence.
