Maaru, Monstrous Swordtooth

The giant beasts of the ice that live in the furthest reaches of the realm men call Thule - the Srónox, the Mammox and the Mallox, amongst others - have long been under the sway of Baalor, for the ice itself obeys his commands and such beasts live on his word; but few are as swift, deadly or as ferocious as the Feleox, the huge pantherine beasts that many call Swordteeth. They call them Swordteeth for two very good reasons - the sword-like teeth that sprout from their upper jaw, each almost two feet long and each capable of puncturing bone and armour alike. Yet Swordtooth is almost a misnomer, for it is their strength and speed that are the greatest threat to their enemies, and MAaru is perhaps the quickest and the strongest, as well as the largest, of all his kind. A murderous killer in Baalor's name, a hunter of beasts without peer, Maaru stands ten feet tall at the shoulder and as long again, a huge creature by any standard, but when he is unleashed upon Baalor's enemies in battle not shieldwall nor beast of war can stand against his ferocity and power.
