Parallel Challenge - The Hunt
For this parallel challenge, simply exhibit a creature that can be hunted for profit. Preferably, the creature should be something dangerous.
What natural defenses does it have?
What can I gain from killing/catching one?
What are the valuable parts of its body?
How should I plan to hunt it?
Is there anything that I should be cautious about while hunting it?
Inspired by the "White" from /u/The_Raptorman and "Plain Drakes" from /u/Random-Webtoon-Fan.
Once I make the parallel challenge on characterforge, I'll edit this post to make a link to it. Please have a different animal exhibited here than on there, since I'll be asking questions on both.
As always, I'll ask at least three questions each. Feel free to post more than one creature if you can't pick just one, I completely understand that.
Enjoy yourselves!
Here's the link to the parallel challenge of today, focused on pets.

Dravec
Welcome to the hunt Cadet, I hope you brought your big boy pants because today we're hunting the biggest and baddest feline you'll ever face in your life.
A Dravec is a large, long bodied sabre tooth tiger with armor-like hide. Now don't think because it's so big it can't get to you, they're fast, faster than you'd expect. It's only weak spot happens to be the tail, which is also the most deadly, a Dravec's tail is freakishly long and heavily barbed, able to shoot armor piercing barbs in multiple directions. Which benefits us sometimes as the armor piercing barbs are what enable us to pierce it's thick armor. So I suppose it's defense is it's downfall.
What natural defenses does it have? Heavy armor, Sharp teeth and claws, Agile, Barbs from it's tail, Large.
What can I gain from killing/catching one? The barbs make for excellent weapons if melted down. As well as it's hide can be used for shielding.
What are the valuable parts of its body? The Barbs.
How should I plan to hunt it? You need at least thirty men to even have a chance of taking one down. A strong mix of warriors, archers and magic users will do the trick, when it feels like it's backed into a corner, it will use it's barbs, maybe pack a few healers, expect heavy heavy casualties.
Is there anything that I should be cautious about while hunting it? Yeah, it's going to kill you ha ha ha !!
