General Information
Beasts in general are strong physical fighters that are fairly good at taking and keeping aggro, and generally have a reasonable array of combat choices. There are many kinds of beasts, and each have their own unique properties that can make them a good choice for any character build, but generally a beast type is among the best choices for a caster to take. This is mostly due to the fact that beasts are generally close fighters, with good speed and fairly strong defenses.

Cu Sith
- Main article: Cu Sith
A fairy of Scottish legend that takes the form of a dog. Roughly the size of a calf, It is kept by the fairies as a guard dog. Because it can walk without making a sound and can understand human speech, the fairies often use it as a mount.

The Cu Sith is usually accompanied by fairies, but sometimes goes out alone. When It does so, people must find shelter before the Cu Sith barks three times, or they will be killed.
Inugami
- Main article: Inugami
Dogs of Japanese legend who possess human bodies. When a person is possessed by an Inugami, he feels pain in his chest, hands, and feet and begins to bark like a dog. People with strong or unstable emotions are thought to be particularly susceptible to being possessed. Inugami are said to originate from the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku. They were sometimes used as objects by Japanese diviners. Since Inugami will not leave a family once they possess it, it was once customary when arranging marriages to check whether the family had an Inugami.
Nekomata
- Main article: Nekomata
A bakeneko is, in Japanese folklore, a cat with supernatural abilities akin to those of the fox or raccoon dog. A cat may become a bakeneko in a number of ways: it may reach a certain age, be kept for a certain number of years, grow to a certain size, or be allowed to keep a long tail. In the last case, the tail forks in two and the bakeneko is then called a nekomata.
Orthrus

A gigantic, two-headed dog, The child of the storm giant Typhon and the half-snake beast Echidna. His body is as big as an ox, and he has the fearlessness and ferocity of a lion.

Cerberus was born from the union of the half-serpent Echidna and the storm giant Typhon. The two-headed beast Orthrus is his brother. Cerberus appears as a three-headed dog with with snakes all over his body and a dragon's tail. The three heads are said to represent the past, the present and the times yet to come. Cerberus guards the gates of the Underworld, the realm of the dead, welcoming souls of the dead from the outside world, but ferociously attacking all those who attempt to leave. It was traditional in ancient Greece to place a copper coin and a honeycake in coffins. This was so that the departed souls could pay Charon, the boatman of the river Styx, to ferry them across the river, and feed Cerberus, who favored sweets.
