The Beast refers to the innate demonic predator that awakens in each and every vampire upon their Embrace. The Beast stands in direct opposition to a vampire’s Humanity (and in some cases the Path Of Enlightenment) and is responsible for many of the debased urges Cainites feel on a nightly basis. In times of extreme distress the Beast can overwhelm a vampire, forcing them into a state of pure animalistic fight or flight, which is referred to as Frenzy or Rötschreck.
Ways to subdue the Beast[]
A vampire with high Humanity will almost never frenzy. More so, if a vampire achieves Golconda, they will never frenzy again. Also, some Animalism powers can subdue the Beast.
