Jaeger

A ferocious beast measuring out to twelve feet long with dark, crimson red scales, rows of teeth, blue eyes and paws with 9 sets of claws each. These large beasts are a cross of a dog and a monitor lizard in body shape, four legged with a large tail thick as the rest of their body with bony protrusions. A Jaeger is a solitary apex predator that is a fearless beast known to take on even a Kervantes and fight until they're either subdued or outright killed. The Jaeger gets its name from its abnormal amount of claws capable of tearing through a prey and even some of the toughest armors with ease, they keep attacking until they're physically spent. They're among some of the smaller of monsters in their classing, making up for it with their unrelenting tactics and brutal nature. The teeth of a Jaeger break away like a shark and will constantly regrow, replacing them in just a day while their claws are a similar manner, regrowing constantly. The Jaeger is commonly seen in colder climates and in more out of the way locales, avoiding Jaeger are opportunist hunters and will resort to carrion if it was easier.

Jaegers are territorial beasts that will fight multiple foes at once if they feel nest is threatened and are known to attack unprovoked to those who intrude on the nest. Yet the Jaeger's territory is small, but roam far and are uncaring of anything beyond their nest. The Jaeger's body is durable and while they do not possess any venom, disease, etc. they have the ability to control blood like that of the Saiketsu art which attributes to the deadly cuts they can produce with their claws. Jaegers are popular creatures in the world for military uses once tamed, they're loyal if given proper treatment and are ferocious guards. In the land of Fang, Jaegers have been bred even for use for military cavalry.
