History WMG / BeastThePrimordial

* TheRake: Eshmaki Predator

* The fella’s almost ''certainly'' an Inguma or Eshmaki Predator who’s somehow managed to thoroughly intertwine the town and his Lair with each other.

[[WMG: Most beasts don't believe the "teaching through fear" thing.]]
It's a self-justification they try to use to stop themselves from going mad from guilt. For anyone with a shred of morality before becoming a beast, suddenly needing to literally force others to suffer to survive is going to be horrible. The reason "teaching through fear" became so popular was first because it was a very convenient excuse that looked good on the surface, and later it simply became the "traditional" justification. Of course, as with all erroneous justifications, this clearly doesn't go well, with many beasts using it to justify worse and worse things.

They target either other Beasts or corrupt Heroes.

[[WMG: [[Franchise/TheFearMythos The Fears]] are very ancient and powerful Incarnate Beasts.]]

* The Blind Man: Namtaru (Inevitability of old age) Collector (steals memories and keeps them in his archieves)

* [[{{Plaguemaster}} The Plague Doctor]]: Namtaru Ravager
* The Black Dog: Namtaru Nemesis or Predator
* The Eye: Ugallu Nemesis or maybe Predator
* Franchise/{{The Slender Man|Mythos}}: Eshmaki (elusive until it is too late) or Ugallu (standing there, watching you)? Possibly a Ravager, maybe a Predator

More specifically, a Anakim - he is a blank eyed bear, his victims... are children - and obviously a Predator. In his Life, he is some Japanese nerd with a Lolita complex. He started his meme himself to spread nightmares about him across the world. Obviously, some of his victims end up unable to cope from the trauma, and become [[PaedoHunt Heroes paranoidly suspecting everyone of being child molesters]]

The book says that Beasts exist to teach lessons, that their lessons are needed more than ever now, that they are the only ones who have all of the answers, and that Heroes are too egotistical to see this. But this is all said [[UnreliableNarrator from the perspective of Beasts.]] There is nothing stopping them from just killing people and teaching nothing, their lessons are often [[DisproportionateRetribution incredibly severe]] despite the safety net of modern society meaning that our mistakes aren't liable to get us killed anymore, and most of their interactions with and claims about the supernatural of often demonstrably wrong (i. e. saying "What would happen if I tore off your masks? Would anything remain?" to [[TabletopGame/DemonTheDescent Demons]] like they were harmless shapeshifters rather than the [[RealityWarper reality hacking]] [[EldritchAbomination super beings]] they really are). Add in the fact that a Beasts Horror seems to do everything it can to create and attract Heroes and claims that Heroes are the ones messing with the natural order of things ring hollow. The truth is that Beasts were meant to act as antagonists for humanity to overcome and Heroes were meant to be spiritual leaders that helped overcome Beasts, but now we've outgrown the need for both and the fact that this is the [[CrapsackWorld World of Darkness]] means that this has twisted not just Heroes, but Beasts as well.

[[WMG: Pennywise The Dancing Clown, from the 1986 Horror Novel ‘It’ by Stephen King and the Films it inspired, is a Beast]]

[[WMG: This game was originally intended to be a CapePunk RPG with the [=PCs=] as super-villains]]
