Fan Casting The Beast in Dungeons & Dragons: The Hand of Chaos

A towering, headless abomination and the Cult of Vecna's silent enforcer, The Beast is a mountain of unstoppable violence who wears an expressionless wooden mask and a talisman of the cult. He punches through walls, throws men across rooms, and shrugs off blows that would fell a lesser creature. His horrifying reveal comes when Karroway's fire breath burns away his mask, exposing the truth: he has no head, only a giant, clenched hand jutting from his shoulders, which he uses to headbutt his enemies. He is a pure, terrifying physical presence, a body-horror nightmare who communicates only through brutal action. He meets his end when the Dracolich vomits a spray of acid over him, dissolving him into a puddle of smoldering ruin.
