The Thextera is a very crafty creature who will be leading a pack in the desert. He will be accompanied by a regular wolf, as well as an Alpha, when he faces your party.

Essential Rewards

When you defeat the Thextera, return to the petitioner, Gatsly. He'll have some rewards ready for you as well as a teleport stone, your very first in the game. This is an essential reward in that it opens up the teleportation stones for use.
