Perhaps its attacks have a pattern. Perhaps you'll be wasting your time. Only one way to find out.

Success

You've worked out a relationship between its attacks and the tides

You leave a beefsteak laced with strychnine, and the next day it's gone. The thing ate it and lived! But it must be suffering. A few more doses will finish it off. As long as you can afford a beefsteak.


Failure

Its attacks seem random...

Is it devilishly cunning? Or is it just, you know, random? Either way, your strychnine-laced beefsteaks attract nothing but ordinary rats.
