The Rhino DD pepper, a creation of Drax Diego, is a very hot pepper known for its unique shape and potential for high yields. It's believed to have a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating over 1,000,000, similar to a Ghost Pepper, but hasn't been officially tested. The peppers start green and ripen to a vibrant orange, often featuring a stinger-like tail, resembling an elongated Trinidad Orange Scorpion.

- Appearance: Elongated, orange pods with a stinger-like tail.
- Flavor: Fruity and sweet, with a notable heat.
- Origin: Created by Drax Diego.
