Savage Beasts are corrupted animals of the Western Kingdoms who now charge-attack anyone passing by on sight. They are beast-type monsters.

They all have the same special attack, Charge. As the name suggests this is a giant head butt with a run-up. The animal snorts before it's about to charge so it's easily avoidable as he's locked onto your position at that point and won't alter his course so step aside to avoid getting hit.
