Traits

Legendary Elusivity. The first time a creature sees the Bladen Beast, it must make a DC 17 Intelligence (Perception) check. If it fails, the Beast is invisible to that creature.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d6+8) piercing damage. The target must succeed on a DC 16 Strength save or be grappled.

Bonus Actions

Shred. The Beast chooses one creature that is grappled by it. That creature takes 30 (4d10+8) piercing damage.

Description

The Beast has been described as "resembling either a bear or a panther." Hunters have also claimed to have heard the creature scream while hunting and likened it to that of a panther. A famous bard called Herry Davestrom has said that a panther "never occurs in this land", and was of the opinion that it might have actually been a coyote.

In reality, Bladen Beasts are none of these things. None know where they come from, but accomplished mages theorize that they are from the plane of Despus to guide persons with chaotic Shenti. However, in reality they're quite chaotic themselves despite their serene air.
