Keen Hearing and Smell. The wolfos has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Reactive. The wolfos can take a reaction on every creature's turn in combat.

Weak Point. Any target strike or sneakstrike that hits the wolfos' tail ignores its damage resistance.


Actions

Reckless Multiattack. The wolfos makes two claw attacks. If neither of these attacks hit, the wolfos can't take reactions until the start of its next turn.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) slashing damage.


Reactions

Opportunity Attack. When a creature moves out of the wolfos's reach, as a reaction the wolfos can make one melee attack targeting that creature.

Perfect Parry. When the wolfos would be hit by an attack roll, it can use a reaction to increase its AC to 20 until the end of the current turn, potentially turning the hit into a miss.

Wolf-like monsters, wolfos are feared by those who traverse forests and swamps. Although they run on four legs, they stand on two legs to take swipes with their powerful claws. Although carnivorous, wolfos are known to kill any and all creatures found in its territory for little reason other than the pleasure of the kill. Despite their bestial appearance, wolfos hunt with warrior-like skill and cunning.
     Impenetrable Guard. Perhaps what makes a wolfos most ferocious is its capability to parry or endure almost all forms of conventional weaponry with its hook-like claws. Swords get blocked, spears get entangles, and even hammers are deflected. A wolfos can seldom be dominated in hand-to-hand combat unless its lack of intelligence, or uncontrollable bloodlust, is used against it.
     Environment: Forest, Hills
