the Beast

Beauty's enchanted suitor

The Beast is a nickname for the armored limousine used by the President of the United States, emphasizing its massive size and heavy fortification.

More broadly, the Beast refers to any fearsome creature or formidable entity—often with religious overtones from the Book of Revelation, where the Beast represents evil or the Antichrist: the number of the Beast.

In casual use, someone who dominates their field may be called a beast: She's an absolute beast on the court.
