'''The Beast''' was one of the most powerful [[Ork]] [[Warbosses]] to have ever lived. In 544.[[M32]] he united much of the Ork race and nearly succeeded in conquering the [[Galaxy]].{{Fn|1b}} His [[Waaagh!]] was the largest the Galaxy has ever seen and rampaged across the [[Imperium]], eclipsing even the one [[Horus]] defeated during the [[Ullanor Crusade]] which earned him the title of [[Warmaster]]. The Imperium only halted his advance at great cost and desperate measure, devastating the [[Adeptus Astartes]].{{Fn|1a}}
==Appearance==
The Beast was perhaps the largest Ork [[Warboss]] ever encountered, which in Ork society denoted his power, prestige, and lethality. Said to be the size of a hab-block, The Beast made even [[Nob]]s appear as mere children in his presence and his tusks were the size of tree trunks.{{Fn|2}}{{cite this}}
==History==
The Beast first appeared at the head of an unprecedentedly massive [[Waaagh! The Beast|Waaagh!]] in [[Segmentum Solar]]. After destroying the world of [[Ardamantua]] and nearly the entire [[Imperial Fists]] [[Chapter]] with his [[Battle Moon]], the Beast then set his sights on [[Terra]].{{Fn|2}}{{cite this}}
