I hope you like the orc furybeast. I'll be back tomorrow for a nicely messed up monster appropriate for Friday the 13th.
Blood mats the brown
fur of this powerfully built mustelid which snarls and snaps angrily.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Death's Wrath (Ex)
When an orc furybeast drops below 0 hit points, it can take 2 points of damage
to take a full-round action, but it can only do so to charge an opponent. If the
furybeast is slain as a result of an attack of opportunity or readied attack,
it can still take its full attack before dying.
Enchanter’s Blowback
(Ex) If an orc furybeast saves against an enchantment spell or effect, it flies
into a rage. It gains +2 Constitution and +2 Strength, but takes a –2 penalty
to its AC. When the furybeast attacks the creature that attempted to affect it the
spell or effect, it gains a +2 bonus on its attack roll and deals an additional
2 points of damage.
Orcish Devotion (Ex)
An orc furybeast will not harm a creature with the orc subtype, even if it is affected
by an enchantment effect. A creature with the orc subtype that attacks the
furybeast loses this benefit.
Powerful Build (Ex)
An orc furybeast adds 1–1/2 times its Strength modifier to damage for all its
melee attacks.
Originally hunting and combat companions solely bred for
powerful orc chieftains, orc furybeasts have become plentiful enough to add
their might to leaders of warbands and exemplary orcs. The animals match the
ferociousness of their orc owners and fight with a near rabid intensity until
they die. Orcs gifted with furybeasts honor the animals and use them only in
meaningful battles or to hunt powerful game. In orc encampments, offspring from
furybeast litters are pitted against each other when they near maturity,
leaving a lone survivor (or, very rarely, two survivors). Orcs take a pragmatic
view of the selection process and do not bet on the outcome.
On extremely rare occasions, a non-orc who has proven him-
or herself to an orc tribe receives a furybeast as a gift. Orcs who see a non-orc
they do not recognize with a furybeast challenge the owner and, if not
satisfied with the response, attempt to violently wrest the animal from the
pretender.
A typical orc furybeast stands 3 feet tall at the shoulder,
is 5 feet long, and weighs 200 pounds. While furybeasts rarely reach the extent
of their natural lifespans, they can reach the age of 30 years.
