The more body parts a beast has, the more likely something useless will be hit.

What about [ADJECTIVE][ANIMAL]s?
Mundane animals that have become associated with a particular sphere and given an appropriate modification, physical or magical.

Fire lions and suicide tigers and dawn bears, oh my!

There is a distinct lack of East-Asian monsters here. I'm no good at RAWs, but here are my ideas:

Orochi: Giant, 8-headed snake that smashes it's way into settlements intent on drinking all the booze stores, eating all the food, and then smashing it's way out again, killing anyone or thing that gets in it's way. Japanese legends claim the Orochi was gigantic enough to carve out rivers wherever it went, but it was mostly dangerous because of the famines and droughts that followed the rampage should a village fail to appease it with sacrifices.

Death Worm: The most probable inspiration for all those "sand-worms in space", the Death Worm's mouth is wide enough to swallow a couple live camels and their riders from below without any warning or trace that it was there. If at all possible, the Death Worm should be restricted to moving in sandy deserts. In some versions, Death worms are said to secrete a paralytic venom to keep struggling live prey from damaging it's vulnerable body, while in others, it's made of stone and victims are crushed before they get their bearings.

The Orochi sounds too much like a hydra with the [CURIOUSBEAST_GUZZLER] tag on it.

But larger and without legs!

What about ligers? They're pretty much a cross between a lion and a tiger, bred for their skills in magic.
