Monster Trove: Old Fears and Hungry Things
Beast of Gévaudan
Large
About
The Beast of Gévaudan is a huge, red-brown predator remembered through contradictory reports of a wolf, hyena, mastiff, or something trained to hunt people. Its chest is broad, its tail long, and its hide carries dark stripes along the back. It attacks isolated travelers with unsettling selectivity, then abandons livestock and easy carrion as if terror were part of its appetite.

Special Attack
Man-Hunter's Rush: slashing, melee 5 ft, +5 to hit, 2d8+3. Against an isolated target, the strike deals an additional 2d6 damage and pushes it 10 ft.
Special Defense
Close the Line: while two allies stand adjacent to its chosen target, it loses the additional damage and 2 AC. Bells and organized hunting horns prevent it from hiding.
