The idea is a mechanic somewhere between "deathtouch" and "bushido": it gives a little bit more resilience, but not too much, and makes this likely to trade with most creatures, but not all.
The flavour is either spellbeasts, or the effect on remaining mundane animals of having to compete with them. But it could be reused on sapient species too.
