Hinge-tailed Bingbuffer

The Hinge-tailed Bingbuffer was a large carnivorous creature indigenous to northern parts of the Empire of Trynser, including Kasteban, Karninia, and the Grand Duchy of Feylurayne. The creature grew up to 5 yards long, not including the 3-yard tail which was of solid bone covered with leathery skin. Although the creature had an impressive array of teeth which it used to devour it's prey, it's usual means of attack was to twist its body around with it's muscular upper body and swing itself laterally, swatting boulders and other large objects with it's tail. The objects thus swatted would fly for a considerable distance, either knocking its prey from trees or striking them directly. For its own protection, it would thus swat antagonists themselves with the tail, sending them flying. It had never verifiably been known to attack in any other manner.
The creature had enough of a glimmer of intelligence that it would respond emotionally to the results of its swatting. It would sulk if it missed or chortle eerily if it made a difficult shot. The bingbuffer was not known to eat humanoid creatures, but some had been known to enjoy targeting them. The Kingdom of Karninia spent some effort in training a squadron of bingbuffers to serve as artillery for the Royal Karninian Army.
