The Beast is a piglin boss and secondary antagonist in Minecraft Legends. They are one of the generals of The Great Hog, being the leader of the Horde of the Hunt.

Lore

Spoiler warning! This section contains detailed information about Minecraft Legends that may spoil your enjoyment of it. Read at your own risk!

Before the events of the game, The Great Hog summoned all their horde generals to the planning map table where the Beast raises their arm up to give them a Horde of the Hunt banner then the Great Hog takes it and smashes it to a place in the map. The Beast nods in agreement and sends piglins towards the portal, the Great Hog then laughs menacingly.

Foresight afterwards senses the evil of the Great Hog and their generals coming for the Overworld where Foresight proceeds to tell Action and Knowledge to come with her to the Overworld to investigate the nether portal. She then recruits the Hero to stop the piglins and the Great Hog and their generals.

After the Hero defeats multiple Piglin Outposts, a cutscene plays in the Nether where the two other horde generals watch as the Great Hog was choking the Beast, then they throw the Beast towards a wall. The Great Hog afterwards calls upon the Seer and the Great Hog points towards a place in the map, the Seer then asks four piglins to bring her a beacon, after the piglins bring the beacon to the Seer, she corrupts it with the Orb of Dominance. The Seer tells the three piglins to place the corrupted beacon on top of the nether portal within the Night Beacon. After the Hero successfully destroys the night beacon a piglin comes through the nether portal and rushed towards the Great Hog and their generals to tell them the night beacon was destroyed. After telling them it was destroyed the Great Hog gets angry and with their generals, proceeds to catch the piglin and presumably kills it. The Beast and the other generals return to their respective horde bases.

During the war the Hero successfully destroys a piglin outpost with a nether portal. Meanwhile in the Nether, the Beast is seen chasing the Ancient Hoglin and several hoglins with Pigmadillos and Seekers shooting blaze rods at it. A piglin from the destroyed piglin outpost returns to the Nether with a broken Horde of the Hunt banner and runs towards the Beast, shouting at them and telling them about the defeat but the Beast hits the piglin with their hammer and the piglin gets trampled by the piglins following the Beast. The piglin is then saddened by the fact their leader is oblivious that they were defeated in a battle.

Once again the Hero successfully destroys a piglin outpost with a nether portal. The piglin from the earlier cutscene who was whacked by the Beast becomes angry and complains to the Seer that the Beast doesn't know their defeat while the Beast and pigmadillos are still chasing the group of hoglins. The Seer summons a purple shockwave that gets the attention of the Beast and the pigmadillos forcing them to stop their pursuit of the hoglin. The Seer orders the Beast and pigmadillos to go to the Overworld but the Beast only sends the pigmadillos, and the Beast with a few remaining pigmadillos continue their pursuit of the hoglin. The Seer is angered by this.

Once again after the Hero destroyed another piglin outpost with a nether portal, the Beast is still pursuing the Ancient Hoglin with pigmadillos but the Seer steps in and with her magic lets the Ancient Hoglin escape and sends the Beast and pigmadillos to the direction of the nether portal and they enter the Overworld. Once in the Overworld a pigmadillo gets scared and the Beast tries to whack the pigmadillo but it turns to a ball and escapes the Beast's hammer. The Beast and their army of piglins run towards a Village just before the Nether Portal explodes.

Once near the village the piglins blow on their Piglin Invasion Horn making their presence known and the villagers cower in fear. After a ferocious and long battle the Hero and allied Overworld mobs weaken the Beast and their hoglin's bone mask falls off. The hoglin then proceeds to buck the Beast into the sky before plummeting down upon the hoglin, crushing it beneath its rider's weight. Immediately afterwards, the Beast's Bone Cudgel hits the Beast on the head, thus defeating the Beast and the hoglin they were riding.

Appearance

The Beast is a large piglin riding a warboar, both having strikemaster-colored skin that is covered in sores. The Beast wears a jon-colored helmet with three bone horns, each with a jon-colored ribbon around it. The ribbons also wind around their arms and chest, those around the arms attaching two bone rods to them. They also wear a jon-colored skirt with two orange belts. They wield a bone club similar to the bone cudgel from Minecraft Dungeons, but it is thicker and the straps around it are jon-colored rather than purple. The warboar they ride wears a bony mask with two tusks and two rectangular black spaces for its glowing red eyes. Its saddle is made of jon-colored cloth with hanging tassels showing burning tips. Its tail is raised upward, serving as a mast for a black flag held by a bone along it and ending in four tassels, three of which are burning. The flag is defaced with a skull similar in appearance to the one worn by the warboar, but the skull is cracked and has frowned eyes.

Spawning

Once all of the Horde of the Hunt's bases have been destroyed, The Beast will begin appearing in the Horde's village attacks. Their HP saves from each encounter, but they will retreat either when the village fountain is destroyed or shortly before the night ends.

Once The Beast is defeated, they will always drop the followng:

• 100 Gold
