The Beast - Over the Garden Wall

The Beast is the hopelessness of the woods - the feeder on the desperate and those who have become too lost to even attempt to keep finding their way. When fighting with Wirt and the woodsmen in the final episode, a light flashes on the Beast and - for just a flash - we see what he truly looks like when not an imperceptible shadow. He looks like the trees that become the souls, with faces of the lost and hopeless covering his body. He’s not just someone who feeds on the lost souls in the woods, but someone who is the embodiment of the forlorn.
