Vice Beast
From Damasca

Description
A large wasteland roaming beast (although it has been known to wander near civilization), that survives extreme heat by its lack of fur or any hair. Its body resembles that of a lion, but much larger, more like the size of an average horse. Being as such, many foolish adventurers have tried to tame and ride these beasts, yet all have met the same fate. Its natural temperament and bloodlust makes it untameable and frenzied in battle.
Where you would expect the head of a lion is instead a more primate-like face, resembling a hairless gorilla. This beast has piercing yellow eyes, a mouth filled with little needle teeth, and two large mandibles. Its tail is long and whip like, but strong. The tip ends in a set of pincers, powerful enough to cut through flesh.
Although its body is that of a lion, its speed isn’t that impressive, and most could outrun it. What it lacks in speed it makes up for in offence and defence up close. Its sharp claws can pin its prey while its pincer and mandibles make short work of limbs, if the weight doesn’t kill them from its pounce. Lacking fur however means it has one huge weakness, it cannot survive in cold climates as it relies on outside heat for its body warmth.
