A sub-species of the Mauler that has adapted to the environmental conditions of the Forest, the Sylvan Mauler has developed a resistance to the poisonous mushrooms it consumes. That very poison gets stuck in its fangs and paws, and can often spread the poison with its attacks.

The presence of a Sylvan Mauler betrays more are likely close by, sometimes even accompanied by its progenitor, the Mosscloak Behemoth. Although their thick hide can slow them down, they still possess enough mobility to trample their prey. Short tempered, they'll fly into a rage using strong limbs to pounce on their prey.
