The black shuck makes three Bite attacks and can use Curse of the Grave or Fearsome Howl, if available. If at least two Bite attacks hit a Medium or smaller target, the black shuck sinks in its teeth, shaking its head violently, and the target must succeed on a DC 17  Strength  saving throw or take 7 (2d6) slashing damage and be thrown up to 15 feet in a random direction and knocked  prone . \n'b'  Bite .

The black shuck howls a haunting tune.

A single, glowing eye dominates its face.\xc2\xa0This fiendish black, shaggy, wolf-like creature is the size of a horse with a single, large eye that glows like molten iron. \n'b'  Pastoral Prowler . Haunting country byways and back roads, black shucks are credited with countless murders, missing wayfarers, and the wholesale slaughter of entire caravans and patrols. Black shucks hide in the cover of fog and stride quietly across ponds, creeks, and other fog-shrouded bodies of water to ambush weary travelers stopping for a drink. \n'b'  Unpredictable Predilections . A black shuck toys with its victims as often as it murders them, but this enigmatic entity is reported to show random kindness toward lost children, guiding them home. \n'b' Grim rituals can summon a black shuck to terrorize individuals, or even whole families, compelling it to haunt and beleaguer them and their household, sometimes for generations.'
