Leatherwing Behemoth
Leatherwing behemoths make their roosts atop rocky spires or on sheer cliff faces, where they have a great vantage point from which to dive down upon their enemies. These surly creatures are often tamed and used as winged mounts by primitives and savages.
A leatherwing behemoth is very clumsy on land, so will prefer to stay in the air and swoop back and forth at its targets. If tamed, its rider may be wielding spears or harpoons so as to attack from a distance.

Oceanhulk Behemoth
Oceanhulk behemoths reside primarily in the water, but breathe air. When they surface, with their long necks and tails, they are often mistaken for great sea serpents.
An oceanhulk behemoth grabs its prey in its powerful jaws and savages them mercilessly. It must surface to breathe every so often, however.

Slashclaw Behemoth
Slashclaw behemoths are no less bad-tempered and vicious than other behemoths. Carnivores in tooth and claw, they are terrifying to encounter.
Slashclaws hunt in packs, with one often acting as a distraction so the other members of the pack can move in from the side. They use their clever hunter and swiftfooted to evade attacks and outmaneuver their prey.

Beastking Behemoth
The undisputed lord of the behemoths, this nigh-unstoppable carnivore primarily feasts on other behemoths, but would not pass up an exception. Revered by some primitive races as a living incarnation of a god, they are rarely tamed - but when one is, it is the mightiest of war beasts.
A beastking behemoth stuns its foes with its roar and then savages them with its bite. It uses tail sweep if surrounded.

Whiptail Behemoth
The biggest of all behemoths, sporting a tremendously long neck and tail, the whiptail behemoth is something of a peaceful grazer most of the time. But when threatened it is frighteningly dangerous, capable of crushing smaller creatures under its feet.
When under threat, the whiptail behemoth will use its slam on anything within range. If pushed or panicked, it will use its trample to simultaneously move away from the threat and crush it into the ground.
