Beast
The Beasts are a classification of Fire Demons residing in
Qada Agir, more specifically, the Beasts region, and are known for their hostility and unfriendliness towards any living thing they come across. Their bodies have different animal parts, giving them an odd but terrifying appearance.
Sub-Species
Canine Beasts

Avian Beasts

Aquatic Beasts

Basic Information
Anatomy
Beasts possess body parts of different animals like dogs, cats, bears, snakes, bats, etc. This causes them to look like strange, and, at times disturbing, amalgamation of different animals. They are either bipedal or quadrupedal.
Genetics and Reproduction
Methods of reproduction and gestation period depend on the animal reproductive system a Beast possesses.
Ecology and Habitats
The Beasts prefer to live in the dark expansive network of caves they call home, but some of them that aren't fully built for the dark choose to spend most of their time outside.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Dietary needs depend on the type of digestive system, jaw shape and types of teeth they have. For instance, Beasts with the teeth structure of carnivores (long sharp front teeth and narrow and serrated back teeth) mainly consume meat and flesh while those with the teeth structure of herbivores (sharp incisors, wide flat molars and no canines) mainly consume plants.
Their hunting methods depend on their anatomy and body shape.
Behaviour
In general, they are extremely aggressive and hostile towards anyone and anything they come across and some attack, maul and tear up anything that annoys them.
Additional Information
Uses, Products & Exploitation
The other Beasts use the Primitive Beasts in strenuous work, like transporting heavy cargo, erecting tall structures and operating machinery.
Facial characteristics
Facial shape and features depend on the animal head they possess.
Average Intelligence
The Beasts are segregated into three classes based on intelligence: Advanced Beasts, Simple Beasts and Primitive Beasts. Advanced Beasts can hold intelligent conversations, capable of discerning emotions and are adept at understanding new concepts. Simple Beasts can hold fairly strong conversations but are not fully adept at understanding social cues, often causing them to make a fool out of themself. They usually speak in broken sentences. Primitive Beasts cannot comprehend any form of speech and are very animal in nature, that is, they can only communicate in growls, grunts, roars, screeches and squeals.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Not all Beasts sense their environment equally due to the variations in animal body parts they possess. For instance, Beasts with rabbit or dog ears have a keener sense of hearing than those who don't, those with the general build of felines are faster and more agile, and those with gills, fish tails or streamlined aquatic bodies are more adept at swimming, etc.
Special abilities vary slightly, but in general, Beasts have powers related to fire and lava (owing to them being Fire Demons).
Civilization and Culture
Major Language Groups and Dialects
Those who can speak mainly use English, though others use human languages like Russian and Italian. They also know a few words of Fhcha.
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
The Beasts have a great disdain for the
succubi, often disregarding them as "useless whores" or refusing to acknowledge them. They are incredibly hostile towards the succubi and often harm and assault them.
If you know what's good for ya, you'd get the hell out of my sight before I tear your wings off, damn whore!
Some Beasts are nice to them but they are very few.
If there's anything the Beasts hate more than the succubi, it's the Blights. They often have to deal with the mischievous demons' pranks and quippy insults whenever the two Fire Demons interact. The Beasts hate the child Blights the most because their pranks are the worst and often scare and threaten them when they can.
The Beast, covered in dung, grabbed the child Blight by its head and raised it to her face. The child trembled and shook as the livid Beast growled in a low but intimidating tone, "Listen here you little shit. Don't think that because you're a kid you can do whatever the fuck you want and not be punished", she squeezed the child's head with her long, sharp talons and the Blight squealed in pain, small tears of lilac fire sitting in its eyes. "If I were in a bad mood, I'd rip your stupid head off and feed it to Gnesred; he looooves eating troublesome shits like you", the child trembled more and began to cry. She coldly stared at the sobbing child and continued, "But, I'm in a good mood today, despite being covered in shit, so I'll just let you off with a friendly warning:", she hardened her grip on the child's head, "stay out of my damn sight and if I see you or the rest of your annoying buddies, you will wish your mother threw you into a bottomless pit after you were born!" With that, the Beast heartlessly threw the wailing child to the ground and stomped off.
