The Beast

Summary
The beast is a highly threatening monster of an animal. If confronting one in close quarters, death is almost certain, however they are known to fight at distances which give their victims an opportunity to escape. In exchange for their raw killing power, the beasts have next to no mobility. In order to be prepared for any situation, the beasts are constantly in attacking formation which further sacrifices mobility. Some of the more territorial beasts will even be in attacking formation in territory they know to be safe. Similar to The Metal Boys, the beasts show next to no intelligence, however they do not need intelligence to kill, just to move.

Variations
There are several varieties of beasts, all of which are either wearing, or not wearing a select few easily acquired hats. The most common variation is the "gibus" variant(pictured right), known to wear a tattered black gibus. The gibus variant will often be seen wearing a peculiar pair of goggles. Another common variant is the bald variant, which wears no hats of any kind. The chests of the beast will occasionally be seen decorated with a small brown badge or a small green badge(pictured).

Habitat
The beasts are commonly found all throughout the land of TF2, however, they rarely have the mobility or intelligence to stray far from their spawning area. The beasts are most threatening when found outside of their own territory, due to the surprise factor of such an animal venturing so far from home.

Behavior
A beast's typical behavior is to stand around their territory, attacking any living being that ventures too close. Adventurous beasts will occasionally venture outside safe territory, which will allow them to attack more victims, however it will also open them up to the threat of big-game hunters. They tend to laugh while attacking and scream when hurt. Some who have lived to tell tales of close range encounters with beasts will describe their screams as resembling the word, "Medic."

Diet
The beast will eat anything that gets too close, however due to their lack of mobility, a meal is not guaranteed. Some of the more intelligent beasts have been seen to carry and eat sandwiches and chocolate bars.
