faol mòr fiadhaich

Language variant: Scottish Gaelic

Explanation:
Faol (shortened from faol-chu) is quite an archaic word in Scottish Gaelic - "madadh allaidh" is more common these days, but if you want something that scans fairly well, you could get away with it. Fiadhaich usually translates as wild but also means ferocious, fearsome or angry.
You could also get away with droch fhaol mòr although the construction is a bit awkward.

Irish Gaelic is similar, but I'm no expert so if that's the variant you're after, I could give you advice on what it could be, but I can't guarantee it would be right.
