Beast (VTM)

The Beast refers to the innate demonic predator that awakens in each and every vampire upon their Embrace. The Beast stands in direct opposition to a vampire’s Humanity (and in some cases Paths of Enlightenment) and is responsible for many of the debased urges Cainites feel on a nightly basis. In times of extreme duress the Beast can overwhelm a vampire and force hir into a state of pure animalistic fight or flight, which is referred to as Frenzy or Rötschreck.
