These beasts are odd anomalies when it comes to biologists. They take a similar appearance to staxie species. To an eerie degree. They have properties of rapid evolution and metamorphasis, unlike tavians, who take about a month for their new features to fully grow in. These beasts can grow new features, markings, and colors, day by day. They are born with boomerang-like heads which appear to be a type of "nubby stub" that they are born with, despite being on the side of their faces. Most beasts appear to be born with very few features and without any limbs. As they grow, they acquire all four limbs (by default), though it appears that the beasts are able to experience staxie mutations such as root or clump syndrome.

Biologists believe that beasts share common ancestor to staxie in a similar way that myres and squalls do. But their non-sentience unnerves staxies. They are highly intelligent, enough to create strong emotional bonds with one another, be efficient hunters, scavengers, and more, but they are reported to be seen manipulating primitive tools. Using sticks to scare fish out of caves or using stones to crack open shells. They prefer the water, though, occasionally crawl onto land to find food, shelter, or for apparently no reason but to explore. They are huge, lumbering creatures that can easily hurt or overpower staxies. They will be fiercely defensive if they feel threatened, especially with young nearby. But some staxies have been able to approach beasts if they express extreme caution and no threat to them. Beasts are not eager to spend time near staxies, but they seem to not fear them as predators.

Elders are very discouraging to the idea that beasts are related to staxies at all. Many generally find the notion quite offensive, that staxies are comparable to animals, but the evidence has been supporting the theory more and more as time goes on.

Beasts tend to create communal dens with other members of their species. Appreciating the company of others to watch over young while they hunt or scavenge. Abandoned dens can be found full of seagrass, coral fragments, and stones, which are theorized to be bedding, tools, or toys utilized by the parent or children respectively.

These beasts have been found in small pockets of the Aurora Isles, often by islands in which they can access the land. However, their existence has been noted on the far reaches of the Big Water's mapped ocean with different tools for the different oceanic biomes they inhabit.

Most unsettlingly, beasts share magic gland placements with staxies. Most young have black tongue glands and most adults have one of the eight typical magic glands (unless they have a mutation that contradicts their magic glands). And while tavians are able to cast spells as well, beasts seem wholly independent learning magic on their own. Seafarers or those adventuring lesser explored shores need to be careful not to stumble upon a beast who may attempt to protect their territory with a powerful spell.
