I was known as Thokk on my home world of Dornn. It was savage untamed world. All we knew as a people was constant war. As I grew to fighting age, there was a rage that boiled within me. I was unable to contain it. In time my strength grew to match my rage, and I viewed this bottomless. Well of fury as a gift. But as I brought peace to my world and the wars ended... My rage continued, even intensified...I realized it was a curse. I had to leave the utopia I had created so that my rage wouldn't destroy it. Now I travel the cosmos, looking for a worthy opponent, who can exhaust my rage, who can withstand the fury I bring unmatched, to every battle I face.

~ Battle Beast
Thokk, better known as Battle Beast, is a supporting character in the Image Comics comic series Invincible and its animated adaptation of the same name. He is also the titular main protagonist of the interquel comic series Invincible Universe: Battle Beast.
He is an amoral intergalactic warrior with an insatiable lust for blood and battle, who scours the universe in search of a worthy opponent to have his final perfect battle. For this, he is willing to go to any lengths, even joining the ranks of the Coalition of Planets to fight the Viltrum Empire, whom he holds as the most worthy opponents in the universe. While not always antagonistic for most of the time, with him often fighting in the side of good, his violent and bloodthirsty nature makes him one of the most dangerous characters in the series.
Battle Beast is a towering, powerful, and muscular humanoid creature with leonine characteristics standing at 2.3 meters (7'6") and weighing 352 kilograms (776 lbs). He has white fur that covers his entire body. He also has French braids on both sides of his head and vibrant dark red eyes. In terms of attire, he wears a black leotard with red shoulder pads, black arm warmers, red toeless boots, and matching gloves. He also wears a belt with a checkered red and yellow pattern.
His animalistic yet well groomed physical features greatly capture that he’s a complete savage and brutal, yet sensibly honorable warrior.
Personality[]
Battle Beast is a brutish warrior who seeks worthy opponents to fight to the death. Who has traveled across the universe in search of worthy opponents before he ended up on Earth. While ruthless, arrogant, and sadistic, Battle Beast still shows a honorable trait; that being his refusal to kill Invincible as he believes that any weaker foes are unworthy of fighting him, as it is not considered an honor. Battle Beast does not accept an uneven clash either; when Thragg was disemboweled by a Ragnar, Battle Beast also gutted his own abdomen, ending in a morbidly fair fight where Thragg emerged victorious.
Biography[]
Background[]
The Leonine extra-terrestrial Battle Beast claimed to have conquered a thousand worlds and that galactic empires tremble at the sound of his name. These boasts remain unverified, but given his might, could well be true. He lived for the fight, viewing personal combat as sport, seeking to test himself against worthy adversaries, which, given his power levels, are few and far between.
His original name was Thokk and he was worshiped as a messiah figure from his home planet for ending war and bringing peace but years of war took a toll on and he left to search for worthy foes, but his people believed one day he would return.
Head of the Class[]
Battle Beast searched the universe for foes that would give him a true combat challenge and if they could give him a glorious death. Eventually, Machine Head hired him and several other villains to fight Invincible, Titan and the Guardians of the Globe. While the villains were defeated relatively quickly, Battle Beast proved himself to be the biggest threat. He brutally beat down Invincible and the rest of the Guardians. Before he could finish them off, he used his portal creation device to leave, calling the heroes pathetic and not worth killing.
Happy Days[]
Eventually Battle Beast was captured by the Viltrumites, or allowed himself to be taken to find powerful opponents, and was held prisoner on the Viltrumite Prison Warship. When Allen the Alien lead a prisoner escape on the warship, he promised Battle Beast strong opponents to fight. Battle Beast accepted the offer and the two interrupt the execution of Nolan. Battle Beast, Allen and Nolan fought the warship's security and the two Viltrumite Executioners and ultimately escaped the ship. Battle Beast dragged one of the executioners into the far reaches of space as the two continued their brutal fight.
Still Standing[]
Battle Beast was able to defeat and kill the Viltrumite executioner, but was left incapacitated and frozen in space. After a long time in a near-death state, two aliens recovered him. This allowed him to recover and continue his search for powerful opponents.
The Viltrumite War[]
Eventually, Battle Beast was recruited for the Coalition of Planets for the Viltrumite War. Battle Beast joined the Coalition in the assault on the Viltrum Empire's home world, Viltrum. There, he fought and quickly subdued Thula. When Grand Regent Thragg beat down Invincible and Omni-Man, Battle Beast recognized the power of Thragg and attempted to fight him. Thragg proved to be too much for him and threw him to the side and knocking him out of the fight.
The War at Home[]
Battle Beast met an alien woman named Thresha, who became his lover. The two fought together in multiple battles across the galaxy. Eventually, Battle Beast was called to the home world of the Coalition of Planets, Talescria, by Allen. Allen told Battle Beast about how Thragg was exiled from the Viltrum Empire and there was a possibility they could find his location. Allen asked Batle Beast to find Thragg and kill him, which he agreed to, as Thragg would provide him a great fight.
Modern Family and Death[]
Thragg, Thresha and Space Racer were able to track Thragg to the planet Thraxa, where he was currently ruling as emperor. Battle Beast deployed himself onto the planet and landed in front of Thragg. Thragg commented on their previous fight and how easily he was defeated, but also recognized his power and offered him combat if he so desired. Thresha saw Thragg and unleashed a group of Rognarrs to aid Battle Beast in killing Thragg. Much to Thragg's surprise, Battle Beast aided him in killing the Rognarrs.
Battle Beast explained that he would accept no advantage in combat, even matching the wound that Thragg had received in the fight. Declaring that battle was his life purpose, Thragg admitted to respecting him and the two began their fight. The battle was brutal and went on for several days all across the planet. During this time, the Coalition monitored the fight to determine the outcome but was unable to. After multiple days of bloodshed, Thragg ripped out and crushed Battle Beast's heart. With his dying breath, Thokk thanked Thragg for giving him a warrior's death.
Legacy[]
In the final issue of Invincible, it is revealed that Battle Beast has a daughter, who also inherited his hunger for battle.
Powers and Abilities[]
Superhuman Strength: Battle Beast possesses extraordinary strength, exceeding even that of most Viltrumites. He wields an exceptionally large mace with remarkable speed and skill, demonstrating devastating physical power. He effortlessly threw Monster Girl with immense force and just as quickly pummeled her into a critical state.
Superhuman Stamina and Durability: Battle Beast exhibits exceptional durability and stamina, enduring numerous attacks from the new Guardians without showing significant signs of damage. Even when faced with a Viltrumite, and sustaining some injuries, he maintains his fighting ability and determination. He willingly ceases combat only when his allies are incapacitated, not due to his own inability to continue. He survived alone in the vacuum of space frozen in a state of hibernation and woke up almost immediately after being rescued unharmed from his fight with one of Viltrum's soldiers.
Superhuman Speed and Reflexes: Battle Beast has demonstrated the speed and reflexes to keep up with a Viltrumite in combat and surpass most superhumans on earth.
Superhuman Lung Capacity: Battle Beast is able to hold his breath and continue to fight a Viltrumite soldier in the vacuum of space and even enter a state of hibernation while frozen until rescued.
Claws and Fangs: Battle Beast natural weaponry is durable and sharp enough to pierce and tear the skin and flesh of Viltrumites, who are nearly invulnerable.
Mace Proficiency: Battle Beast is incredibly skilled in using his mace, pummeling foes with ease.
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Battle Beast's combat prowess is exceptional. He demonstrates a high level of efficiency in his movements, quickly neutralizing opponents. Against foes of similar size, he is able to instantly react to their battle tactics and systematically take them down with a relentless barrage of attacks. He’s trained in all fighting systems, and very similarly to Conquest, Battle Beasts best display of beating his opponents is through his nigh unmatched raw power and extreme brutishness. He’s the 2nd most skilled combatant in the universe.

Trivia[]
Thokk is based on Battle Beasts toyline from the 1980s.
A member of the Coalition of Planets was seen in the second season who looks like Battle Beast, suggest that they are of the same species.
In the Brazilian Portuguese dub his name was adapted to be "Guerreiro Feroz," which means "Ferocious Warrior."
In the comics, Battle Beast's first appearance depicted him with a battle helmet. In the TV series, he never has a helmet.
The fight between the Guardians of the Globe and Battle Beast, Magmaniac, Kurrsk, Furnace, Tether Tyrant happened after Omni-Man's' fight with Mark. In the show, it happens beforehand; Omni-man's absence from the fight is instead a result of his advice to Mark that the inciting events were "beneath" the concerns of a Viltrumite.
Furthermore, in the comics, Titan was not defeated by Battle Beast, but by another villain hired by Machine Head named "Magnattack".
