The nightmares are real,

AND YOU'RE ONE OF THEM.
Now, let us feast.

Overview

You are a Beast, and you must feed. Your Hunger drives you, and your Hunger might damn you. Indulge too lightly and your Horror will take matters into its own hands, roaming the Primordial Dream for sustenance and awakening murderous hatred in spiritually weak individuals. Feed too deeply and too often, and you become sluggish, sacrificing the raw edge of Hunger for the languor of Satiety. You must decide how to grow your Legend — will you be the monster incarnate, the thing that all other monsters fear? Or are you doomed to die under a Hero’s sword?

In Beast: The Primordial, you are one of the Begotten: a human being with a monster's soul; not just any monster, but one of the great monsters of legend: A titan, dragon, gryphon, kraken, or the great unseen threat. You’ve been having the same nightmare for a long time, possibly all your life, the kind of nightmares humans have had since the dawn of time. Maybe you were stalked by an unyielding, unseen hunter; dropped from great heights; pulled down into the waters, slowly drowning; left helpless in the face of overwhelming power; or perhaps something so ugly was hunting you that just the thought of seeing it might jump-scare you enough to wake up.

However, you decided you were done with being a victim and turned to face the monster; in doing so, you realized that YOU are monster- you have always been the Beast. Now that you embrace your true nature, you understand yourself so much better. Even though this experience may have been dramatic, it is also a huge relief: the Beast understands why it is different, why it never felt like it fit in, and where its strange urges come from.

Special Note

In our Chronicle, Beast: the Primordial characters are included in all genre VSSs (excepting Vigil and Descent) on a High-Approval basis, rather than in Primordial-specific VSSs.
