Most people would get torn apart by a bear in seconds, armed by with a spear, gun or rocket launcher. Those well trained may succeed.
My creature is not some mainly herbivourous ape, with little natural aptitude for aggression. It will be capable of butting creatures stunning them for a long while, spitting poison over range, and biting hard enough that it would go through a human being.
A spear is good, but that doesn't mean a crocodiles bite is worthless by a long way.
