Beast

Beasts are creatures composed of the parts of different animals, or which have characteristics that are distinctly unnatural. These legendary creatures predate human civilization on earth, but their numbers have varied from century to century. Their origin remains uncertain. It is known that they do not mate and give birth like animals, and that they spontaneously appear in isolated, desolate places. The reason for their appearance is a mystery, however; they always seem to proliferate during times of crisis and social decay, but there is no evidence that these creatures are willfully summoned.

Common forms include humanoid bodies with animal heads, related to gods such as jackal-headed Anubis, cobra-headed Amunet, lion-headed Sekhmet and falcon-headed Horus. Non-humanoid hybrids are common, with the lion serving as a common body type, as are goat-hybrids and bull-hybrids.
