Magical Beast

The **Magical Beast** shortly known as Beast, in this universe is referred to creatures which are very often depicted as dangerous and aggressive with a strange, grotesque appearance that causes terror and fear. Beasts usually resemble bizarre, deformed, otherworldly and mutated animals or entirely unique creatures of varying sizes, but may also take a human form. They may or may not have supernatural powers, but are usually capable of killing or causing some form of destruction, threatening the social or moral order of the world in the process. They existed before humans and are spread out overall planets in the universe. The beast may varies, but they all have something in common, example; they have 'black' colored blood and contains a core or crystal inside.

The beast can be differentiated into many types based on their power, appearance and so on. For example; beasts like humanoid type beast are far more dangerous because of their high intelligence than others, while elemental type beast are dangerous because of their ability to utilize an elemental power. Their are also some special cases like Dragon and Phoenix, that even though they are considered a type of beast, they seemed to be more so a separate existence, not quite fitting in any category and regarded as their own race.

The Beasts are produced by Nest crystals. As Nest crystals are what give the energy to the beasts, It's a strange phenomenon, to say the least. It is believed that the creatures on these planets were just regular animals like we have back on earth at some point in time. However, they were drawn to these mystical energies of the Nest crystals. The animals gave birth, laid their eggs next to these crystals, and eventually started to change, going through an evolution. They were born with crystals inside of their body, and they gained great power. The Nest crystal itself seems to adapt to the newly found beasts it has created and almost starts replicating them. Spawning them constantly at an incredible rate, and this is what we know as the beasts today.

There was also a beast, who claimed the title of King of the Beast, known as the King Behemoth.

## Beast Crystals

The Beast Core or Crystal are located inside beasts as each beast forms a crystal inside itself. These crystals contains the energy of the beast which are used in various ways, example; Mages could increase their Mana pool, forged into Beast Equipment, power machines etc. Due to beast crystals uses, many hunt beasts to get these crystals. These crystals also acts as a currency in human as well as vampire society. Every beast crystal depending what beast it had come from had a different use and you could try to figure it out from what the beast was like. These beast crystals holds remaining energy of the beast. The amount of energy these crystals contain depends on the beast itself; the higher the tier of beast, the more energy their crystal contains.

**Uses**

## Racial Abilities

Magical Beasts naturally had a high Mana pool and could instinctively use Mana, which we call Abilities. Every beast was able to learn an unique ability of their own. Beasts have a better healing and are physically stronger than humans. Beasts, just like animals, were more sensitive, have instincts and are able to feel energies. Each and every beast specialize on certain field e.g. the Arctic wolf mainly specialize in speed. But beasts tend have low intelligence than that of other creatures and mostly relay on their instincts, which is why if they feel something threating to them, they either attack or escape. Just like animals, Every beast occupy their own territory, if anyone entered their territory they will attack on sight. Some beasts acquire more than one ability, some even have high intelligence than other beast and some even able to understand and speak human language. Thus, beast are various and varies with each other on their basis of ability, appearance, size, nature, environment, intelligence and so on.

## Evolution

Each and every beast are divided into tiers and with each tier upgrade they go through a evolution. Their bodily ability, strength and intelligence improves with each evolution. Their form will continue to change and grow. They also gain some new skills.

So far, humans had discovered eight different tiers of beast. The tiers were based on the crystals that were embedded in their body. The more powerful the crystal, the higher the tier of the beast. There was sure to be other planets with stronger beasts and abilities that they had yet to find out about, that may be categorised above that. Afterwards, it was discovered that their is a ninth tiers. These Tiers are:

1. [Basic tier]
2. [Intermediate tier]
3. [Advanced tier]
4. [King tier]
5. [Emperor tier]
6. [Legendary tier]
7. [Demi-god tier]
8. [Demon tier]
9. [God Slayer tier]

The higher the tier, the 10x stronger will the beast be compared to the previous tier. Of course, this would depend on the beast, for there were some beasts that were just difficult to deal with than others no matter what tier they were at. Their are also Elemental beasts, humanoid beasts which can be considered stronger than other beast at equal tier, and were rare to come by.

There are several ways beast can evolve using the energy of the crystal, but the easiest way is just to eat others beast crystal. And due to their jaw that was many times stronger than of a human, they didn't have any problem eating it. It also depends on the environment and also beast as well as crystal itself. A beast consuming the higher tier crystal will fasten the evolution possibility, whereas consuming lower tier crystal will only result in a slight chance in evolution possibility. And most likely the energy which contains in the crystal, the beast will absorb those energy to further improve themselves. After entering from evolution possibility to evolving, the beasts goes into an evolving process which is likely a type of hibernation as their body changes slightly. As in this process, the beast have to suffer pain of undergoing body changes. When the evolving process completes, they will reach the next tier.

Their is also another method to surpass their original tier, it is by eating nest crystal as they have naturally high energy than other crystal. But the beast have to atleast be able handle the energy in their body or else their body won't be able contain the energy and the beast will mostly likely dies as their body explodes. When they successfully absorb the nest crystal energy, their body will improve as well as get stronger than before.

The King of the Beast, King Behemoth is the only known beast who truly reached the God Slayer tier, apart from some Dragons and Phoenix which are disregarded from beast race.

## Beast Horde

On all the planets where the beasts reside, and when a large number of beasts come in waves, attacking the living areas, that is what we call a Horde. These beast horde are categorised further into Five Level based on the number and tier of the beast;

* Level 1
* Level 2
* Level 3
* Level 4
* Level 5

These beasts are large in number, and they attack different areas. Also, each wave is more devastating than the last, which can start at any moment and at any location. The higher the level, the more dangerous the Beast Horde is. It's based on several things: the number of beasts, the rank of the beasts themselves, and what any area has experienced till now. And so far, a Level Five horde is the largest Horde that any planet has experienced so far. As every beast horde is leaded by a beast which has highest rank in the horse.
