A tayellah is a massive feline creature. Appearing as a gargantuan, black, three-headed lynx, it stands 30 feet tall at the shoulder. Its pupilless eyes shine a gleaming yellow. It sports a tentaclelike tail that ends in a wicked stinger. It is devious in the extreme, using its agility to stalk and pounce on its surprised prey. Tayellahs hunt in the most savage of wilds, even places beyond the Material Plane. Some of their favorite prey includes giant eagles and giant lizards. ### Combat The tayellah prefers to stalk its prey, leaping at its prey from stealth. When it confronts a crea ture that proves a threat, a tayellah prefers to keep its foe at bay with its great agility and stinging tail.
