| “ | Beyond the wall is a mountain, a mountain of fire. And inside it... something has been awoken. A beast like no other. Not of this world. For now, it cannot leave its molten prison. But as the fire grows stronger, so does the Beast. And it is this that the raptors serve. The Beast is not alone. He has three sons. Your friends are mere toys to them, and when they get sick of playing with them... they pick them apart. | „ |

The Beast, also known as The Monster of Fire Mountain, is the main antagonist of the 2017 epic adventure drama film Speckles the Tarbosaurus 2: The New Paradise (also known as The Dino King 2: Journey to Fire Mountain). He is a giant reptilian monster who resides in the titular volcano.
Biography[]
The origins of this monstrous creature are shrouded in mystery, though it is implied he may be an alien, as the Dsungaripterus describes him as "not of this world". The Beast resides in a massive cave deep within a soon-to erupt volcano, where he grows in size and strength from the lava and raises his three sons. At some point, he gains the servitude of a pack of Deinonychus, having them bring young dinosaurs to the cave as "toys" for his offspring.
After Speckles and his friends arrive in the cave and fight off the Beast's offspring, the Beast himself appears, towering over them and attacks them. Speckles and Fang fight the Beast, using their superior agility to avoid his massively powerful claws. Eventually, the Beast's careless knocking over of the cave's pillars causes the cave to collapse, trapping the giant lizard under a pile rubble and causing the volcano to erupt prematurely, but not before he nearly kills Junior. However, the Beast emerges from the flowing lava, roaring in rage and pain, and prepares to attack the dinosaurs again. Speckles tricks the Beast into diving at him, jumping out of the way at the last moment as the Beast crashes into the wall, causing it to collapse and allowing Speckles and his friends to escape the cave into the sunshine. The Beast is not seen again leaving his fate uncertain, presumably crushed by the falling rocks of the ensuing cave-in.
Appearance[]
The Beast is a giant, hideous, bloated iguana/dragon-like creature with greenish scales, red eyes, gynomastasia, a bloated budda belly, razor-sharp sharp teeth and claws, and spikes along his head and back, two of which on his head are larger than the rest. His neck possesses thick jaw muscles similar to a tegu lizard. He is of epic proportions, being at least twenty times larger than a full-grown Tarbosaurus. Due to the fact he rarely has to hunt for his own food and receives a continuous supply of food, he is morbidly obese. Despite this, his muscles are still powerful and well-developed, and he is athletic.
Personality[]
Not much is known about the Beast's personality, as he only appears in one scene. However, he is shown to be vicious and aggressive towards those who trespass in his lair. It is also implied that he is cruel and sadistic, as he gives living baby dinosaurs to his own offspring both as playthings and food. However, this also shows that he cares for his children. He is also incredibly lazy and very greedy, since he forces others to supply him with food and has become overweight as a result of his decedent lifestyle.
Powers and Abilities[]
The Beast appears to be fireproof, as he was able to come out of molten lava with no signs of injuries. He is immensely strong and powerful, being able to knock over stone pillars just by walking into them and send a full-grown Tarbosaurus flying with a single swipe of his claws. He is also surprisingly fast and agile despite his massive size, although he can be clumsy in tight spaces.

Trivia[]
- Despite being the main antagonist, he didn't appear until the second half of the film and the raptors had much more screen-time than him, but the fact that he used the raptors to kidnap baby dinosaurs and bring them to his children to play with is what drove the plot of the film.
- In the Chinese dub, it was said that the Beast was a female and can control the Deinonychus pack.
