Characteristics
Great green ghastly beasts that supposedly roam the wilds on seldom stood shores, sending bold adventurers to the afterlife. However, their bark, and beastly visage, are much worse than their bite, since then seldom attack by doing anything other than sinking their sharp fangs into frightened foes.

The Gulp Beast is a three-star member of the Beast family with a weight of 4. Its in-game description reads "The power of its jaw can pulverize practically anything!"
Etymology
Given their somewhat dragon-like bodies, and heads vaguely reminiscent of jackals, the origin of the name is obvious.
