The Beast

The Beast is an innate demonic predator that awakens within each and every Kindred  upon their Embrace. It stands in direct opposition to a Vampire's  Humanity and is responsible for many of the debased urges Cainites feel on a nightly basis. In times of extreme distress the Beast can overwhelm a Vampire  forcing them into a state of pure animalistic fight or flight, which is referred to as Frenzy or Rötschreck . If a Vampire forsakes their humanity too deeply, they will be fully taken over by the Beast, undergo the Wassail, their final frenzy, and turn into a Wight for the rest of time.
