Traits

Keen Hearing and Smell. Beast of Gévaudan has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Savage Rend. If Beast of Gévaudan has a natural 18 (or higher) on an attack roll, than the target must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw, on a failed save the target must roll 1d4. The target will lose an extremity corresponding to the number rolled and take critical damage. The target must also make a DC 15 Charisma (Intimidation) saving throw or be (Frightened) for one minute.

Offspring of Marduk. As a bonus action, Beast of Gévaudan may phase into the Feywild, and reappear in an unoccupied space back in the material realm at the end of its movement.

Frightful Gaze. Beast of Gévaudan may look into the eyes of any creature within 60 feet of it, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma (Intimidation) saving throw or be (Frightened) for one minute. If the target is successful then the target is immune to this effect for 24 hours. A creature that isn't surprised can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If it does so, it can't see the Beast of Gévaudan until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If it looks at the Beast of Gévaudan in the meantime it must immediately make the save.

Actions

Multiattack. Beast of Gévaudan makes two bite attacks.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

 

Description

Tales speak of that the Beast of Gévaudan was once a great hunter who had tracked a Dire Wolf into the Feywild, and as the hunter was about to fire his arrow, Marduk God of the Wilds, merged the two into one. The animal, having lost its previous self turned as wild and violent as the storms. Marduk placed a curse on the beast for it to devour those it had once called kin, and every few generations it returns to the village the hunter once called home. Hundreds of gruesome killing have been attributed to it over the years, though most pass it off as a fairy tale to keep children from venturing too deep into the forest near the village. However, there are a few who have claim to have seen such a monster. They claim the beast stands 6 feet tall at its shoulder and roughly 18 feet in length. Its eyes red as a blood moon, and fangs like daggers. Its fur black as the predawn night and a strong smell of blood whenever it approaches.
