The Beast (Doctor Who)

The Beast is a gigantic demon that appears in the British sci-fi series, Doctor Who - unlike many of the show's villains The Beast is not really an alien or time-traveller but is actually a living embodiment of pure evil.

Although the creators of the show were never quite bold enough to confirm it The Beast is without a doubt meant to be the equivelent of Satan in the Doctor Who universe and even the Doctor himself has admitted that he could not grasp the mindset of the monster.

Being trapped for billions of years inside a pit deep within the planet Krop Tor The Beast claims to have inspired every Devil figure in major religion and mythology (amongst them being Satan, Abaddon and Lucifer).

The demon sought freedom and employed the telepathic Ood to become its Legion while also possessing the mind of Toby Zed.

The Beast tried to escape but was foiled when the Doctor caused Krop Tor to enter a blackhole and seemingly destroy The Beast once and for all - however the still possessed Toby claimed in anger that as long as The Beastw as feared within the universe he could never truly die.
