The Hellbent Beast is an FOE found in the Abyssal Shrine.
These FOEs take residence on higher ground and turn aggressive when the party ascends to their domain. When they catch up to the party, rather than immediately engage in battle, they perform a field attack, dealing damage and pushing the party back, with the aim of knocking them off high ground. The Hellbent Beast gets stunned for five steps after this happens, and this becomes the player's opportunity to engage it in battle if they so wish.
The Hellbent Beast's behaviour causes it to use Reversal Slam if it detects that it has been afflicted with a debuff. This skill is incredibly strong and also cures it of its debuffs. If the player doesn't use any debuffs on it at all, it restricts itself to a normal attack or a line-hitting Reed Cutter.
Once it hits 50% HP, it uses Dead Zone, which inflicts a severe defense debuff to both itself and the party, setting up for a potentially lethal Reversal Slam. This gets repeated every 4 turns from its first use. Find ways to purge the debuff to shut down Reversal Slam, or disable it with an ailment to keep it from fighting.
This FOE is completely immune to binds, but this can work in the player's favour. The Pugilist's Cross Counter skill is especially useful in countering its Reed Cutter.
