A Bear.

Much to Merrick's surprise, another wolf jumped into the fray. Two sets of teeth now bit into the bear from different ends. While the big purple giant bit into the bears stomach, the younger wolf bit into a leg. The bear thrashed and squealed and, due to its superior bulk, soon began to roll over, forcing Merrick away from its belly.

The hulking beast growled, blood on his lips as he circled the bear. With the ursine's attention on him, he hoped that the boy would attack. In the meantime, the amaranthine brute made little rushing attacks, nipping here and there, then dancing back to avoid getting swiped or bitten.
