Beam's Beasts are small fuzzy creatures native to Wunderland. They possess light blond, almost whitish fur, small prehensile hands, and large eyes for their body size, making them look rather cute and harmless. Their cuddly appearance belies a deadly neurotoxin venom hidden inside of vicious, overlapping fangs. Though hardly more than a foot in length, their poison is enough to cripple and kill a grown human in a short period of time.[1]
While they are colloquially known as Fuzzballs due to the way they look, the origin of their official name is uncertain. "Beam" was presumably a reference to a creation of science fiction author H Beam Piper called Fuzzies, to which the Beast bears a strong resemblance, but this has not been definately established.[2]
