Possibly related to the Manic Beast of Allansia, the BEAST OF FURY is a huge, hairy vaguely-humanoid creature found dwelling in caves and mountainous areas across Khul. In fact, its name comes from both its horrible temper and the fact it is noted as inhabiting the Homrath Caves beneath the immense volcano known as the Fangs of Fury in the southern kingdom of Zamarra.
Fighting a Beast is Fury is difficult as their thick black or grey pelt absorbs some weapon damage and their muscular arms end in great clawed hands. Worse, if a Beast of Fury rolls a double for its Attack Strength it has grabbed its prey with both hands and rent them asunder for double STAMINA damage. Such is the power of pure rage!
Beasts of Fury are carnivorous, subsisting mainly on mountain goats, smaller dungeon beasts and other creatures, but equally happy to hunt down larger prey, such as wandering adventurers, Orc warriors and so on. In the darker mountain passes of Khul, when one hears a ferocious howl, and the sound of powerful feet scrabbling across a rocky surface, one knows to get their weapon ready quickly to face the wrathful onslaught of the Beast of Fury!
