Properties[]

As an archetype, the apocalyptic beast entity; a giant deity, demon, monster, animal, or even a foreign creature appearing in all manners of shapes and forms including human-shaped forms to trick others. All throughout history this being has excited as an evil bringer, an embodiment, a harbinger of great doom, fear, chaos, destruction and death, a raging entity of the end times wherever it goes, leaving nothing in its wake other than total devastation and death.

This type of creature/beast is truly a veritable engine of destruction, trampling over mortals, gods, and anything else that gets in his way, even if it doesn't actually attack at first, the simple fact of this creature's appearance means that things are about to get a whole lot worse for anything living near it, as it is a living omen and bringer of death. If the apocalypse prophesied was not the first time the "Beast of the Apocalypse" attacked and it ravaged the world earlier in its history then the creature itself is/could be considered a natural part of the universe, as it was/may have been truly destined to be bring about the end of times. On the other hand, this type of beast could simply even be a mount for another type of harbinger instead of the direct causer of the apocalypse itself like other types of this extremely dangerous world ending archetype.
