Nearly impossible to tell just from this. Smaller than a centaur though so you can relax on having to play diplomat. Most likely four legged, though, given the path it carved through the twigs and undergrowth. Too tall to be a lizard and no drag marks from a tail. Mammal sounds likely. Most large mammals are vegetarians but I'm willing to bet there are plenty of wizard world beasts that go against that statement.
