In ancient times, Chthon, a demonic entity installed the Beasts to guard the Darkhold Castle on top of Mount Wundagore.Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
====Meeting the Scarlet Witch====
In 2024, the Elder Beasts attempted to attack Wong and Wanda Maximoff after they arrived at the Darkhold Castle. Wong and Maximoff prepared to defend themselves, but the monsters then noticed that Maximoff was the prophesied Scarlet Witch. They then knelt down before her in submission.
====Battle at the Darkhold Castle====
The Beasts stood watch close to Wanda Maximoff as she performed a dreamwalking ritual. They continued to do so when Maximoff brought America Chavez to the castle and placed her onto the altar to take her powers. After seeing a figure flying towards the castle in the distance, the beasts went to look at it, only for one of them to get attacked by Wong, who used his Eldritch Whip to impale and pull one over the ledge. The other Beasts looked down at Wong and began hurling large boulders at him, but he protected himself using Tao Mandalas. They then were approached by Doctor Strange, in his alternate self's corpse, carried by demons. He then used the demons to blast the Beasts off the ledge into the abyss below.
==Powers and Abilities==
===Powers===
*Magic: The Elder Beasts have been bestowed magical power. While the full extent of their power is unknown, they possibly possess some form of Chaos Magic given to them by Chthon. One of the Beasts was shown summoning that magic, in the form of red energy, identical to the Scarlet Witch's power, preparing to attack Doctor Strange, before it was attacked and killed by Wong.
==Trivia==
*The Elder Beasts physically resemble the N'Garai, a race of Elderspawn demons created by Chthon which first appeared as enemies of the X-Men.
**These demonic creatures also serve a role similar to that of the Broodlings of Chthon, an ancient race of creatures that were also created by Chthon with the task of serving and worshiping him as they guarded the Temple of Chthon for centuries.
