The story behind the Beast
The monster that hunted Lester, now in your Maya viewport
The Beast is the threat that hangs over all of Another World, Eric Chahi's 1991 game: a massive, snarling alien predator whose silhouette looms over every chapter of Lester's desperate escape. Emilio Serrano went back into that hostile world and came out with a rig of him.
Israel Gómez Simón's model stays faithful to the original design and turns it into a character you can animate properly. Posing the Beast so he looks genuinely threatening is straightforward. Recreate the prison chase or stage an encounter of your own: the rig rewards bold, atmospheric choices that lean into menace and scale.
