Bandersnatch

Having split from its ancestor, the ripperjaw bandersnatch has become a true terror of both Barlowe and Dixon. Moving in large packs of 20-50 members, they can and will take down the largest fauna native within their range through shear numbers. Besides their vicious jaws and claws, they have developed a mild poison capable of paralysis in creatures smaller than itself and numbness in larger ones, however, the poison can build up within a prey's body as dozens of ripperjaws bite into it, resulting in paralyses that can last for hours before the body eventually removes the toxin.

Vicious beasts, they tend to feed on their prey while it is still alive, devouring it as it lays paralyzed. While individuals and small groups are relatively skittish, large packs fear nothing and will pursue their prey for hours at a time should nothing else present itself. During times of drought and such they will resort to cannibalizing their young, who tend to live in small groups of similarly aged members until they are large enough to survive in a pack. Should a pack member becoming wounded or is killed, the others will quickly feed upon it.

Luckily they only hunt during the day, have extremely poor night vision, and cannot swim. Females ready to give birth will leave the pack so as to give their young a much better chance of survival. After a week the young are able to survive on their own, after which the mother herself will join the list of predators that will hunt them until they are big enough.
