unmauled

Escaped the claws

Unmauled means not mauled—not attacked, mangled, or badly damaged.

The word typically appears in contexts where mauling was a real possibility: The hiker emerged from bear country unmauled.

It can also describe things that have escaped rough handling or harsh criticism: Her reputation came through the scandal unmauled.
