One Horn (一角くん Ikkaku-kun, One Horn-kun) is a Red enemy that appears in the Main Chapters and Legend Stages.
Contents
Enemy
An odd enemy that can serve as either free money or the main threat depending on the stage. One Horn sports high damage output and a gigantic health pool, similarly to Bore. However, his movement speed and range are very lacking.
Strategy
To defeat him early on, use Basic Cats, Tank Cats and Bird Cats with anti-Red units like Fish Cat and Axe Cat. If you are a new player, don't let One Horn get too close to the Cat Base, since he'll easily be able to destroy it.
This enemy becomes less and less threatening as you progress through The Battle Cats. However, keep in mind that his DPS stays consistently high throughout the game, allowing him to slowly but surely plow through your defenses if you don't have any unit that can hold him back like Onmyoji Cat or Apple Cat.

Trivia
- Ironically in the English and Japanese versions, he is known as "One Horn", whereas he actually has two horns. In the Korean version; however, his name translates to Two-Horn.
- While his Japanese name, Ikkaku(-kun), literally translates to "One Horn", it also sounds similar to ikaku (威嚇), meaning "threat", "threaten", or "intimidate".
- One Horn and all his variants are constantly mocked for their extremely slow speed in their descriptions.
- Ironically, in real life, rhinos are quite fast.
- With a range of only 40, this enemy currently has the shortest attack range of any character in the game.
