X. THE BEAST OF FORESIGHT

The Beast we have been seeking on our Quest is based off of the Pictish Beast: a creature carved into stone by the ancient Picts of Scotland so many times that it accounts for 40 percent of all their animal carvings.

The other animals they depicted are recognizable and relatively realistic — deer, fish, snakes, etc. But this Beast doesn’t resemble anything we are familiar with, and so we are not confidently sure about what it is supposed to be.

Dolphin? Kelpie? Elephant? Something else entirely?
