I have the impression it's closer to "mammal" than "animal", and doesn't usually apply to e.g. birds or fish...

at least the fools finally fixed the link for the beast from the show angel

I've seen it applied to dinosaurs, large reptiles, and all manner of intimidating mythical creatures. --HunterZ 21:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removals and reasons

  • The Beast (magazine) is an Internet magazine in PDF format.
    • Insufficient information to unambiguously identify the target in the absence of an article

I have heard fishermen call their catch a "giant beast" though I would agree that a bird may not be a beast. It seems to be a word that can be associated with any living thing, and inanimite objects brought to life by the human imagination, such as boats cars or plains.

[edit] Vandalism

Someone obviously vandalized the opening paragraph of the article, but I'm not sure how it should be reverted. --HunterZ 00:36, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I've made an attempt at reverting the article. I belive that everything following the version to which I reverted is vandalism; the edit to which I reverted may also be vandalism but I'm not sure. --HunterZ 00:54, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Slang Term

The word "beast" is often used to describe someone who is extremely skilled at something. For example, you could say, "Gustauv is a beast at soccer." It can also be used as a verb, similar to "bested". "I beasted John in baseball."

[edit] Battlestar Pegasus

"The Beast" is an established nickname for the Pegasus used in the re-imagined version of Battlestar Galactica. Modified the article to that effect. 86.134.103.196 (talk) 22:42, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
