Meursatols

Merusatols are carnivorous and swift creatures which are known for their speed and odd eating habits. They do not prey on an individual animal by hunting them down. Rather, they rush by, tearing off a strip of it's flesh with their claws and then simply swallowing (or rather slurping with how their mouth is) the bite they had torn off as they continue running.

The claws on their feet allow for a secure grip on most landscapes. They also are swift climbers, often taking a running start towards, per say, a tree and leaping up. They dig their claws into the tree, using their hands as a means of holding onto it while their legs do the work of bringing them up.

Meursatols are also at times domesticated animals. Many inhabitants of different areas have recognized their great speed and, though catching and taming is difficult, they are an excellent method of transportation for those who do not rely on technological means.

However, Meursatols are illegal in some areas of Temaldria as even while riding they will want to strip some flesh off of other animals, including livestock. So it is forbidden to ride these animals through rural areas as it may harm the livestock. In these types of areas, it is also a popular sport to try and capture/kill them as it means more security for the locals. Their snouts are often the trophy of successfully killing them, often met with a reward should someone turn it in as proof of their kill.
