 Beasts aren’t Human, never were and are bad at it much like Demons are. They don't have virtues, for any power that would cause a beast to make a virtue test they use their legend instead. Beasts cannot use items or weapons of man, they often don't need to. They each have an anathema which is a special weakness that causes them to lose satiety, or take more damage.
-They have '''Legend'''. Which is the beast’s innate desire for its name to be known and for its story to be spread. Legend is a double edged sword. Higher legend means access to more powerful Atavisms and Nightmares. But also causes more and more people to know who and what they are. They add their Legend directly to their Trait, Satiety, and Willpower caps. Legend is out of 10, but moving past legend 5 is immensely difficult and requires the beast to build it's legend and lair for years and survive heroes and humans attempts to wipe them out.
