== Personality ==
== Personality ==
The Beast had a narcissistic personality, constantly exalting itself and its achievements and referring to itself by various grandiose epithets, even the third person. It was also exceedingly arrogant, dismissing all other creatures as its inferiors and believing itself invincible, immortal and utterly supreme. The Beast was also quite emphatic about its own importance in the mindsets of other life forms, asserting itself as all of the devils in existence, "the truth behind the myth".

The Beast was also quite emphatic about its own importance in the mindsets of other life forms, asserting itself as all of the devils in all religions, "the truth behind the myth".


In addition to being an arrogant narcissist, the Beast was also a ferocious killer. It had an extremely manipulative and cunning nature, and was proud of the acts it set into motion, laughing when the Tenth Doctor [[deduce]]d its plans to escape Krop Tor. It revelled in its own triumphs, grinning gleefully while on the surface of Krop Tor in Toby's body, and gloating about its freedom as the Pit opened for it.

The Beast would even sadistically prey on people's fears and guilty feelings to shake them and leave them feeling vulnerable. It was sadistic enough to taunt Toby with its presence before possessing him, convincing him that if he looked at the Beast he would die. Later on, when he possessed Toby, he cruelly asked [[John Jefferson|Mr. Jefferson]] if [[John Jefferson's wife|his wife]] had ever forgiven him, before mockingly telling him she never did, clearly reading the discomfort and horror in the man's reaction.

Able to see into the future, the Beast used this precognitive insight against others, foretelling twisted interpretations of what would befall the members of the Walker Expedition, with enough honesty preserved in his statements to keep them plagued with dread.
