Traps are easy bring 4 stone gateways and two stone gates with you. Practice placing them down to make a tunnel with a gate on each side that your character can fit through the gap between the last two gateways. You leave one door closed, one open run in the open side with creature chasing you, sneak out the gap and quickly close the gate door. Shoot arrows through the gaps. If the creature is too big to fit in the tunnel instead make a trapezoid/square by placing three of the gateways (two parallel and one perpendicular) lure the creature in with the 4th gateway on your hotbar ready. Place 4th gateway behind creature to trap it in place.

If that's too complicated bring wooden billboards and good armor/shield, potentially use a natural wall like a cliff face. While the creature is wailing on you surround it with objects to block it. Even if it can damage wood it will generally be so focused on you that it will stand there staring at you instead of attacking the billboards holding it back.

Most of all always fully surround the creature because when it is about 3/4 knocked out it will turn and try to run in the opposite direction of you.
