It has been said he is but a turrible looking creature, seeking to deploy his rage and destruction upon whatever may dare cross his path.  Some say he bears a distinct and far-ranging aroma redolent of an unholy mixture of skunk, rotten eggs and cow manure — like a dog that hasn't been bathed in a year and is suddenly rained on.  He is the last of his kind — an ancient creature long thought extinct.  He has been put to the test.  He's been both marveled at and despised, searched for and hunted.  Many have vanished, in an attempt to solve his mysterious riddle of existence — only a select few have returned from a hunt, only to report catching a distorted glimpse of the trecherous ogre as he sent them running for their lives, hurdling after them through the dense forests, mauling a path of destruction.  He has been called the Jedi, the Abominable Snowman, Sasquatch, Bigfoot, and the incredulous Skunk Ape — after foraging through the shredded ligaments of his victims, it has been made clear that this animal has but one suitable name.  This invulnerable monsterous fiend, we call the Beast.  Beware his mighty wrath, for you have disturbed his Lair.  He can smell your sweat.  He can smell your blood.  He can smell your fear.  The Beast is angry. Beast (bêst). n. A large, instinctively irrational four-limbed primate. A contemptible mammal characterized by raging inhumanity, brutal ferocity, and the ability to cause great harm or destruction. The most grotesquely large member of the great apes, capable of dishing out an incomprehensible amount of wrath.
