D&D 2024 monster: Kavu Predator. Source: Plane Shift: Dominaria. challenge rating 2, creature type Beast, Large size, speed 30 ft., climb 30 ft. Arboreal Foes The arboreal kavu bred by the Kelfae are capable of climbing sheer surfaces at any angle, and of charging at astonishing speed at ground level. Kelfae warriors ride a large breed of kavu predators, using a series of cloth slings as safety restraints while sitting or dangling from the creature's back. The nimble and acrobatic Kelfae kavu riders are called arborealists. Kavu Kavu are reptilian creatures that are either very ancient or a relatively recent creation on Dominaria. Either awakening from a millennia-long hibernation or springing fully formed into being, they emerged from the ground to defend against the Phyrexian Invasion. The Llanowar elves now breed the kavu to fill a variety of roles, believing that these creatures were the goddess Gaea's means of intervening in Dominaria's defense. The close relationship between elves and kavu is a constant reminder of Gaea's beneficence. Every Kelfae bonds with an arboreal kavu companion, and some Kelfae and Basiphem warriors ride them into battle. Beast Large 30 ft., climb 30 ft.
