The Armored Beast possesses pale brown fur that is mostly covered by spiked armor, and the face-plate also makes it look like it has horns. It appears to be rotting or wounded as well, as it lacks a fair amount skin on its legs and mid-body, showing bare flesh. Either blood or rust stains its armor. It will attempt to harm the player with its claws or by using its sheer weight to stomp on the ground, unleashing a wave of tremendous force that will both knock them back and inflict damage.
Strategy[]
Due to its peculiar spiked armor that has gaps with skin exposed, an Armored Beast will be resilient to weapon glyphs that cause Strike damage, such as Macir. Shanoa should instead be equipped with either glyphs that cause Slash damage, or glyphs that inflict Flame damage. When it starts to rear back, get ready to either retreat or double jump to avoid the wave of force that it unleashes.
This monster seems to be based on the Beast of Gévaudan's appearance from the 2001 French film, Brotherhood of the Wolf, which is loosely based on a real life series of killings in the 18th century.
Gashida uses a modified sprite of the Armored Beast.
