As described in the Changeling: The Lost, many Beasts served as animals in their Durance, however, some took on beastly miens as they escaped their Keeper by embracing savagery and breaking the social rules imposed on them. Notably, a few new Beasts in the Freehold, as well as some Hobgoblins in the Hedge have come with "digital" markings and details, who can usually trace it to their Durance in a Fae realm called The Fractal Wilderness.

Storyteller's note: Not all Changelings with animal features are necessarily Beasts.
