"The black nails protruding from golden fur are said to represent Serosh, Lord of Beasts, who went to become King Godfrey's Regent."
Beast Champion Helm
"The beasts, their eyes and ears covered, represent an oath: 'See nothing, hear nothing, doubt nothing, and carry on, along the path set in stone.' "
Beast Champion Armor
"Beasts are drawn to champions, and to lords. And this armor befits a champion worthy of becoming a lord. And that is what Bernahl was. Until his maiden threw herself into the fire."

The Queen's Beasts are ten heraldic statues depicting the genealogy of Queen Elizabeth II. They were commissioned by the British Ministry of Works to stand in front of the temporary annex to Westminster Abbey for the Queen's coronation in 1953. The beasts are: the lion of England, the griffin of Edward III, the falcon of the Plantagenets, the black bull of Clarence, the yale of Beaufort, the white lion of Mortimer, the White Greyhound of Richmond, the red dragon of Wales, the unicorn of Scotland, and the white horse of Hanover. After going from Westminster Abbey to Hampton Court then Windsor Castle, the originals are now in a museum in Canada. In 1958 Sir Henry Ross, the chairman of the Distillers Company, Edinburgh paid for these portland stone replicas to be made and displayed here, outside the Palm House.
The Victorian font at Darlingscott has small relief panels on it's eight sides, some with Biblical symbols, others with beastial heads emerging from swirls of foliage as seen here.

Benjamin Franklin Butler was born in 1818 and named for Ben Franklin. Upon the death of his father when he was a year old, Butler’s mother operated a boarding house in Lowell Massachusetts. By the time he was 21 he had passed the bar and began practicing law. Soon married he became prominent in the Massachusetts legal and political scene. Due to his political connections he joined the militia in 1839 and by 1855 had received a political appointment as Brigadier General, but had no actual or practical field experience.
At the start of the Civil War his unit was activated and he led his troops to Baltimore to assist with repairs to railroad damage caused by recent riots. Within weeks he was promoted to Major General and was the third highest among the volunteers to hold the rank. A month after his promotion Butler, along with the rest of the Union forces was defeated at Bull Run.
His fortunes soon improved when he began to work with the Navy and commanded expeditionary forces along the North Carolina coast and later into the Gulf of Mexico. By May of 1862 his forces captured New Orleans and Butler took charge of the City. During this time he acquired his nickname of the “Beast” when he issued General Order No. 28.
When the city was captured the civilian inhabitants began to openly insult the Union forces. The men were dealt with harshly, but the women were ignored. This only encouraged the women to increase their taunts and insults. On May 15th, 1862 General Order No. 28 was issued as follows:
As the officers and soldiers of the United States have been subject to repeated insults from the women (calling themselves ladies) of New Orleans in return for the most scrupulous non-interference and courtesy on our part, it is ordered that hereafter when any female shall by word, gesture, or movement insult or show contempt for any officer or soldier of the United States she shall be regarded and held liable to be treated as a woman of the town plying her avocation.
With the effect of this meaning that women insulting Union forces would be considered prostitutes the result immediately accomplished two things. First the insults to the troops ceased, second the condemnation from the South and even internationally was strongly against Butler. Soon after he imposed censorship of the local newspapers and even arrested clergy that would not pray for support of Lincoln.
The political fallout of these, and other, orders caused Butler to lose his command of New Orleans by December of that year. For most of the rest of the war Butler commanded troops in Virginia and North Carolina but by early 1865 a number of combat failures led Grant to call for his removal. In early January Butler was relieved of command and sent to Massachusetts for the remainder of the war.
Following the war Butler was elected to Congress and served from 1867 – 1875 as a Republican. After two failed attempts to become Governor the Democrats (he had been a Democrat prior to the war) and the independent Party “Greenbacks” nominated him for a successful bid in 1882. In 1884 the “Greenbacks” nominated him for President as they split with the Democrats. This attempt not only was the end of the “Greenbacks” but he end of Butler’s political career. Butler returned to practicing law and was earning as much as 100,000 a year at the time of his death in in 1893.

Another image sent to me by Julianna Lees - one of the very ancient Master of Beasts. The beasts (leopards? they are spotted) stand submissively on their fore-paws.
I was thinking of Beauty And The Beast here.
The reason why the Beast became the beast that he was; on Christmas Night in the brutal snow, the old lady asked the Prince for a place to stay and in return a red rose for hospitality.
The Prince rejected her for her ugliness, and she transformed to a beautiful glorious witch and cursed him - he would remain a Beast until someone could love for what he was - a Beast.
"Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the
beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short...
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the
beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and
sixty six."
I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind
What did I see can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy
Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me
'Cos in my dream it's always there the evil face that twists my mind
and brings me to despair
The night was black was no use holding back
'Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
Was this all for real or some kind of hell
666 the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires burning bright
The ritual has begun Satan's work is done
666 the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight
This can't go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerise me ... can't avoid their eyes
666 the number of the beast
666 the one for you and me
I'm coming back I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take it's course
