I haven't done this, but it occurred to me one could use the rules in GURPS Zombies. There's lots of guidance on biting, and worrying a wound from a bite that could be directly applied to certain types of horror movie animal bites. The zombie horde rules could easily be used for multi-hex "swarms" of B-move wolves, rabbits, etc. Likewise, GURPS Action 5: Dictionary of Danger would be a useful resource, especially Z is for ZOO. It's a great book for helping develop the context of a fight scene, even if the focus, and the tone, is most appropriate for Action.
