The Woodland Beast

A highly aggressive, heavily scarred alghoul chieftain leading a predatory pack along the major trade roads of Velen, attacking military caravans and shrugging off standard steel sword strikes.

Combat strategy

Do not attack blindly while its sharp bone spikes are actively deployed from its spine. Force the beast to retract its defensive armor plating using the Axii sign before delivering heavy silver slashes.
