Kuhtul

Kuhtul is a fictional creature originating from the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. It was first introduced in the module "The Wild Beyond the Witchlight" published in 2021. Kuhtuls are depicted as large, quadrupedal beasts resembling a cross between a badger and a wolf. They possess a thick, dark brown or black fur coat, powerful limbs, and sharp claws suited for digging and combat.

These creatures are typically found in the Feywild, a plane of existence characterized by magic and untamed nature. Kuhtuls are known for their territorial nature and aggressive disposition, often attacking intruders in their domain. They are considered formidable opponents due to their physical strength, surprising speed, and a unique ability to emit a disorienting sonic howl. This howl can stun or incapacitate creatures caught in its radius, allowing the Kuhtul to press its attack.

In terms of their role within the game's lore, Kuhtuls often serve as natural guardians of certain Feywild locations or as dangerous wildlife encountered by adventurers. They are not typically depicted as intelligent or capable of complex communication, acting primarily on instinct and aggression. Their presence adds an element of natural peril to the exotic and unpredictable environments of the Feywild. While not as iconic as some other D&D monsters, Kuhtuls offer a distinct challenge for players exploring this magical realm.
