The Arthurian legend of the Questing Beast was sought by various Knights of the Round Table, like King Pellinore.
The Questing Beast was a mix of serpent, leopard, lion and deer. The call of the beast is the sound of "thirty couple hounds questing."
The beast in the legend is a symbol of the violence that spells the doom of Camelot.
This wild-looking beast is an optional creature for a regular dragon or monster. It's abilities and strengths, in addition to it's weaknesses, are totally up to the GM.
