Holdfast
A sleek, small-bodied hunter strikes from below and pounces in a flurry of teeth and talons, driving for a crushing bite to the throat.
A sleek body, large talons, and keen senses make the holdfast an expert hunter, far deadlier than its small size might indicate. It typically approaches prey from below, then pounces in a flurry of teeth and talons, trying to crush the target's windpipe with its powerful jaws.
