Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma

"You don’t want to know how she got that name."

Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma, is a legend amongst the hunters of clan Atarka.
Dragons may rule the plane of Tarkir, but in the high forests of the Qal Sisma mountains, the great bear Goreclaw has survived long enough to rival the dragons in size... and certainly in ferocity. When hunters venture too high into the mountains, they risk a deadly confrontation with the bear whose roar can shake the snow from the trees.

Keen Smell. Goreclaw has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
Relentless (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). If Goreclaw takes 12 damage or less that would reduce her to 0 hit points, she is reduced to 1 hit point instead.
