What was a Thunder Beast?

The prehistoric name for the Thunder beast was the Brontotherium, which looked like a modern day rhinoceros.

The male creatures would lock their Y shaped horns (which were made of bone matter) to fight one another to decide who would become the leader of the herd or during the mating season. 

As they had a small brain they used their strength to survive.
