Beast Hour. №27. October 2023. Fiend

Raiders and Beasts!

The end of fall is the scariest night of the year! This day ghosts, werewolves, vampires and other horrible creatures wake up and go hunting. And now, after a long sleep, a creature of darkness awakens, and its name is Fiend!



Fiend is just gaining strength and has not yet reached the world of Beast Hour. But our team has already collected data on the appearance and behavior of this dark Beast.

Mirror, mirror on the wall…

Hearing the word "Fiend" each person imagines a different thing: from small tricksters, to great servants of darkness. But what, usually, all such creatures have in common? These are horns!



Horns demonstrate power and create an intimidating appearance, as well as symbolize cruelty and ruthlessness. In some mythologies, horned demons are considered to be holders of hidden knowledge and supernatural wisdom. And some believe that the horns serve as keys that open gates to other worlds or dimensions.

In case of our team, we again decided to draw inspiration from the game “Prince of Persia: Warrior Within” remembering the time demon Dahaka’s horns.



Researching the concept, we tried different character attributes design variations. But we always kept in mind the main thing – just a sight of such a creature should make blood run cold in your veins.



Behavior and temper

Fiend is very agile and can climb walls like Werewolf. Do its hooves make trouble? Well, they help the mountain goats a lot…

Fiend is an otherworld creature, which limits are not yet fully understood. What is already clear, is that our Fiend's single and terrifying eye is not just for beauty and intimidation!



Result

While Fiend has not yet entered the world of Beast Hour, Raiders, Werewolves, and Vampires have a bit more time to "rest".
