Pounce. If the Anjanath moves at least 30 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the Anjanath can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.
Unrelenting Hunter. If a creature that has engaged in combat with the Anjanath and leaves the area, the Anjanath will always pursue them immediately.
Multiattack. The Anjanath makes two attacks; one with its bite and one with its stomp.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 feet, one target. Hit: 19 (3d8+6) piercing damage. The target must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, or become grappled by the Anjanath. They must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw to escape.

Description
Anjanath resembles a Tyrannosaurus; it has black and grey fur on its back which coupled with its flesh-toned scales, make it look similar to the archetypal image of a vulture. Its hide is primarily pink in color, while a dark pelt covers its back which ends in a ruff at the neck, leaving the head bald. Large fangs protrude from the monster's lower jaw, giving it the appearance of an under-bite. Anjanath's massive jaws are counterbalanced by its bulky tail, the underside of which is lined with quills. Compared to its powerful hind legs, the monster's forearms are extremely small. Hidden beneath the monster's pelt is a pair of dorsal sails, which only flare out at select moments. Anjanath can also unfold a prominent nasal crest, which it uses to mark its territory via mucus, sniff out prey, or indicate heightened aggression. Once primed, the flame sac located in Anjanath's throat will glow a fiery red.
