Hodag

Large wolf (can be larger) sized reptilian creatures with bull-like horns and spines.

Behavior
"This fellow can’t endure being laughed at. When angry, he is fierce and dangerously aggressive. But a pair of lemons is ample protection against a whole herd."

Undeniably one of the more ferocious creatures in the forest.

Physiology
A large powerfully built furry reptile with a set of horns on its head (one can tell the age and strength of a hodag by how many horns it has), and dorsal spikes, somewhat like thin stegosauraus fins.

The tears of the hodag are acidic and if processed for ingestion, mind altering. Crystalized tears are worth a great deal.

Powers
The hodag is empathic and when revulsion is detected in other beings, the creature will cry and is likely to become enraged.

Due to its psychic ability to sense feelings, it is hard to evade or hide from.

Abilities
Known for its great toughness, strength, and endurance. It has been known to stalk prey for days and even weeks on end.

Often in tears while enraged (which is also frequent), the tears may cause corrosive burns on its victims during mauling attacks,
