The Beast

The Beast is the first creature you are tasked to hunt upon leaving Bellville. The Hunter asserts it was likely created by The Witch.

Description
The Beast appears as a shaggy black wolf with bright white eyes which walks upright until it spots the player.

Gameplay
The Beast patrols a small to medium area on the map in a back-and-forth pattern until it is engaged. Like other "boss" monsters, proximity to The Beast within 500m will set the player's heart to beating loudly, and the Sasquatch icon will appear in the upper corner of the screen. As the player approaches closer, the heartbeat increases in tempo.

If the player comes too close to The Beast or makes enough noise, such as firing their weapon, the beast will drop to all fours and sprint directly at the player to begin attacking at close range. A single attack with any weapon or a lightning strike from a Silver Crucifix will cause The Beast to flee a great distance, whereupon it will resume patrolling.
