On certain parts of its body reachable by its kicking front and hind legs it can hurt you. It's safest (and more effective) if you can jump up and immediately grab its neck or head to initiat your attack.

Make sure you equip Adhesion if you've unlocked it, because it can buck like a bronco ! Check out the the two videos I posted on the Adhesion page for a side by side comparison of climbing with and without Adhesion.
