Calchona

The Calchona is a large canine creature, covered in thick reddish-gray wool, with a beard like a billy-goat’s, but longer, It is solitary and nocturnal, cunning and malicious, and can be more than a minor nuisance to travelers. It will not attack them directly; it prefers to steal their food while they sleep. If angered, however, it will fight viciously (it has a terrible temper), biting in close combat.
If it encounters a party passing through its territory, a Calchona will follow them until they make camp. After they have bedded down for the night, it will sneak into their camp, and make off with the first backpack that it finds.
Once away from the camp, it will rip open the pack in search of food. If it finds no food, it will return for another pack. If totally thwarted, it will spitefully attempt to drive off the party’s mounts. It is exceedingly cagey; give it a “craftiness" level of 12 for spotting traps and throwing off pursuit
