"**The Beast**" (Originally known as **Oliver**) is a mutated monster and is a killing machine. It is known to be one of the main antagonists of Sodor Fallout. Oliver was originally captured by Boomer's Group, where they genetically engineered him to be a killing machine, later on becoming known as "The Beast", following its final test.

The Beast is a killing machine, which appears to take pleasure in torturing its victims, as seen in "We'll Meet Again", in which it slowly corners Duck at a snail's pace, while Duck runs for his life. The Beast is also rather smart, using its fallen face as a disguise, in an attempt to trick other engines as well as ripping off Diesel 10's claw and jamming it into his face. However, Oliver's face no longer has any muscles, so it is constantly stuck with a "concerned" expression. However, The Beast can control the eyeballs using tendrils. The Beast has spider-like legs, which it uses to attack anything that isn't on rails, as well as use as another method of transport. The Beast uses tentacle like tendrils, which it can use as arms, or weapons. It uses these to incapacitate or consume its victims.

In the end, The Beast was murdered by Douglas, who rammed the beast into molten scrap, a tragically ironic end as Douglas had been the engine who saved Oliver and Toad from being scrapped.

## Appearance of Oliver/The Beast

"The Beast", or rather, what used to be Oliver, is a Great Western 14XX Class 0-4-2T locomotive.

In place of Oliver's face is a large mouth full of razor sharp teeth, resembling a Demogorgon from the Netflix series, "Stranger Things". His appearance becomes increasingly sinister as the story progresses, now commonly featuring tendrils which form what looks to be like spider legs coming out of his body underneath his chassis, though it appears The Beast has always had these, and only started using them more later in the story. It carries around Oliver's face, to use as a mask in order to fool other engines or people into letting it approach. it is also said that The Beast can move the eyes in Oliver's face by using its tendrils.

## Trivia

* TidmouthThunderbolt has Made a model Diorama of The Beast using an Airfix 14xx.
* A running joke in the community since 2019 was calling The Beast "Olivore", to annoy TidmouthThunderbolt. It wasn't until late 2020 when he was given his canon name.
* It is currently unknown if Oliver managed to kill Gordon. However, it is likely that he did not, as Gordon is an express engine and was going at speeds that a tank engine like Oliver normally wouldn’t be able to get to.
	+ Though, it is possible that Oliver's mutations would allow him to go faster than Gordon, as the legs he gains would possibly make him faster than his basis.
* In the picture where he kills Duck, Oliver appears to be missing his lamp. It's most likely that it fell off after he killed Frederick, as the lamp appears to be slightly crooked.
* Interestingly, despite his mask resembling his concerned face, in the picture where he kills Frederick, it resembles Oliver's sad face instead.
* While The Beast cannot see, it tracks down prey via vibrations and sound. Explaining why The Beast did not finish off Percy when Gordon shot past, as it thought Percy was escaping.
* Oliver, along with Gordon after his mutation, is meant to trigger trypophobia.
* The image on twitter where Henry (who was heading towards the Ironworks to look for survivors) encounter the Beast might have taken place after the test which Oliver was unleashed which he was pulling Toad.
* In many fan made videos Oliver uses The ''*Call Of Duty*'' Zombie sound effect.
* The Idea of the beast is from an twitter user
* The 1411 experiment is a reference to Oliver's base the GWR 1400 Class and Oliver's number the number 11 (Being the 11th engine of the NWR).
