Bahruse is a humongous sabretooth cat that tried to destroy my life. He appeared out of nowhere in front of Woodwind Farm. Technically, I did not have to aggro him, but while I was taking a photo, I got too close.
Anyway, enough about me. Bahruse is very agile, but I tricked him into entering the farmhouse and the limited space inside gave me plenty of opportunities for extra shots to bring him down fairly quickly -- though it was an epic battle. In the end, he gave me a dragon shard pouch, an actual dragon shard, and some nice light armor.
