That howl was time not spent watching Ragnarok; the creature smashed a fist straight into the Beowolf's skull, disintegrating it, then roared as another of the pack latched onto Ragnarok's back.

The Cie'th thrashed, managing to catch the Beowolf's hind leg and swung the creature around violently--and tossed it at Luna. The howl had alerted Ragnarok to her presence, too; she was living. That made her as much of a target as the other beasts.
