** Arthur himself has the beast will of the dragon Sylvia, who passed it down onto him before she sacrificed herself to save him. Whenever he uses it, it dyes his hair white and his face gains the same golden FacialMarkings Sylvia had. It gives near-superhuman physical capabilities and a HealingFactor, which are derived from Sylvia's asuran nature. It also allows him to partially manipulate time and space due to her inherent connection to aether, though the backlash from using such powerful abilities often cripples him in the short term.
** Arthur's LoveInterest Tessia has the beast will of an elderwood guardian, which he had slew in the Dire Tombs before giving it to her as a present. Like Arthur, using her beast will dyes her hair dark green and causes her face to display emerald facial markings. It allows her to conjure swathes of vines in combat which synergizes well with her affinity for plant magic. However, unlike the other examples listed here, Tessia frequently experiences much difficulty when trying to assimilate the beast will and suffers instances of PowerIncontinence, which as it turns out is because [[spoiler:the elderwood guardian Arthur slew was a failed Vritra experiment]].
** Tessia's grandfather Virion is perhaps one of the most experienced beast tamers in the setting. His beast will is derived from that of a shadow panther, and whenever he uses it he turns into a near-featureless black humanoid with long hair and vaguely feline features.

His beast will is derived from that of a shadow panther, and whenever he uses it he turns into a near-featureless black humanoid with long hair and vaguely feline features. The only flaw that holds him back compared to his younger compatriots is of course his age, which has rendered him a RetiredBadass and eventual SupportingLeader.

* ''Literature/TheBeginningAfterTheEnd'': Beast wills are abilities that are derived from the mana core of any given mana beast that allow a mage to draw upon the beast's abilities in combat, and mages who have a beast will are known as beast tamers. They can be acquired either by slaying a mana beast and extracting its core or by having the beast impart its own core onto the bearer, the latter of which allows for greater insight into the beast's abilities. There are two stages regarding one's assimilation of their beast will. These are the acquire phase - in which they are able to borrow their beast's inherent strengths - and the integrate phase - in which they can truly harness their beast's unique abilities. A few notable characters in the story are beast tamers.

** Prince Curtis of Sapin has a beast will of a world lion he named Grawder, which he received from his father after he won it in an auction. When using it, his face assumes leonine features evocative of his bond, and it allows him to breath fire just like him. Despite having the beast will imparted onto him, Curtis has not progressed much in terms of his assimilation.
