The Beast of the Hills

The Beast in the Hills is rumored to have taken up residence in the Catacombs of Kartakass. She is said to have black skin covered in scales, thick and matted hair, and wings. Much about her is unknown. Some fear that Radaga has returned, though "S" thinks the Beast to be an unrelated creature entirely.

In truth, the Beast is the unfortunate giomorgo ("half-vistani" offspring of a Vistani mother and the incubus known only as the Gentleman Caller. Unlike the rest of the Children of the Gentleman Caller, the Beast is not human-looking like on the outside but evil on the inside. Instead, the Beast represents an inversion, monstrous and inhuman on the outside but a good person on the inside. The Beast suffers from a crippling lack of self-esteem, a flaw inherited from her mother. A missing Dread Possibility cut from Gazetteer I has the Stone of Death (formerly owned by Radaga) tempting the Beast to use its vile powers to make her look human.
