The Four Beast is a monstrous beast with a Capture Level of 320 (although its capture level can increase over time) that invades the Human World once every few centuries, to devour the humans.
However the Four Beast itself is merely the servant of a still more fearsome figure who has it under his control and the only way to truly defeat the Four Beast is by defeating its controller.[1]
Etymology
The reason for its name is that it can grow four beasts in its limbs every few hundred years, to invade the Human World, with capture levels above 100 at the same time.
Anatomy
The scale of the Four Beast.
The Four beast is a gigantic plant-like creature that resembles a bulb, with many protruding root like appendages that can stretch for miles in all directions. It has a face with sunken in black holes where eyes should be and a large grinning mouth with numerous teeth like protrusions. It is shown to have multiple faces throughout its root structure.
Four Beast's appearance after re-absorption.
The Four Beast is so massive that its main body is easily bigger than skyscrapers and is almost as big as Gourmet Town (excluding its roots which can stretch for miles).
Upon reabsorbing its "limbs" the Four Beast bulks up with a humanoid appearance. It becomes heavily muscled with smooth skin, veins popping out all across its body and the multiple root-like limbs it had before are reduced to only two strong arms with human-like fingers. However, it can still regrow thick tentacle like roots that sprout large bulbous eyes.
Diet
The Four Beast seems to have an imbalanced diet and a taste for human flesh, and thus, once every few hundred years, it enters the Human World, whether or not the population has increased, and consumes as many humans as it can find while its "limbs" wreck havoc. It is stated that a single one of its "limbs" would be enough to wipe out all of humanity in the Human World. It has a huge appetite, as it is said that even if it were to absorb hundreds of millions of humans with it "limbs", it would still just be a small amount and not enough to satisfy its hunger.
History
It originated from the Gourmet World, and once every few centuries it "awakens" and enters the Human World using four powerful beasts that it grows from its own limbs. It is said that the last time it and its "limbs" appeared, a few centuries ago, Ichiryuu, President of the IGO, was the one who drove them back to Gourmet World bearing serious wounds and with little humans consumed. In recent times, the Four Beast has woken up once more and is approaching the Human World with its new set of beasts. While Ichiryu is in the Gourmet World, the Four Heavenly Kings have been given their final task, as their final ingredients on Ichiryuu's List, to defeat each of the "limbs", the Four Beast and its controller.[2][1] However, it devised a new strategy after it was defeated by Ichiryu last time. It instead went to the center of the Human World and uses its "limbs" to invade the Human World from the outside, the Gourmet World, so it could drive all the humans to the center of Human World and eat all of them at once.[3]
The Four Beast's puppets came from each of the cardinal directions. Invaitdeath came from the North, swimming down Death Falls. Mounturtle approached from the South, destroying the continent of Ice Hell on the way. King Octopus Kong came from the West, annihilating Wul Jungle and the Gourmet Pyramid while doing so. Finally Gaoh originated from the East, crushing the Baron Archipelago, the Sandy Beach in the Cave, the 8th and then the 1st Biotopes, while killing a 1500 meter Regal Mammoth as it passed through. The Four Beast's limbs encountered resistance in the form of the full force of the Allied Army Forces, using the most advanced human technology. However, all the beasts managed to easily defeat the human forces without slowing down. They only stopped their progress when the Four Heavenly Kings with their Animal Partners appeared in their path. Invaitdeath encountered Coco and Kiss, Mounturtle faced Zebra and the Dharma Horse, King Octopus Kong was up against Sunny and Quinn, while Gaoh ended up against Toriko and Terry Cloth.
The extensions of the Four Beast underground, as it lusts over its abundant meal.
After the Four Beast arrived underground in the center of the Human World, it then extracted its "limbs" that were defeated by the Four Heavenly Kings to replenish its energy. The Four Beast surfaced above ground, towering over the standing crowds of shocked people. The Four Beast started its rampage in the city and started gorging up humans, until it started sensing the intimidations of the Four Heavenly Kings behind it and swiped out several skyscrapers, that were protected by Teppei's "Protect Tree", realizing nothing was behind it. Its limbs reach the center of the Human World and began absorbing through the roots and bulked up. It then released a large green cloud, that poured down "Green Rain" that could kill the Humans within one hour. It then stood in front of the Four Heavenly Kings who arrived.
The four attempt to assault it individually as its poisonous cloud rapidly fills the sky apparently to spread to every corner of the Human World, but are beaten back quite easily by the monster who quickly adapts to each of their techniques, shrugging off each attack and striking back at them. Rin was able to get close enough to get a reading of The Four Beast CLVL, which reveal its monstrous growth.
Powers and Abilities
The beast creating process of the Four Beast as it creates new "limbs" to act out its will.
The Four Beast has the power to grow level 100+ beasts inside of its body like seeds, once every hundred years when the beasts are adult it sends them to the human world to capture humans. After they are finished it sends its' limbs back to absorb the energy of the eaten humans.
It seems to be very intelligent since it memorized that the last time it sent its limbs into the Human World, they came back very wounded from Ichiryuu, so this time it sent the Limbs from four directions to capture the humans who gathered in the middle of Human World all at once. All of the Four Beast's "limbs" have incredible power and are shown to be able to brush off or evade military arsenal, including satellite lasers that are able to demolish 10 million square kilometers of land. In the process of entering the Human World, they demolished certain natural and extremely dangerous environments such as Ice Hell, Wul Jungle, Baron Archipelago, Gourmet Pyramid, the Sandy Beach in the Cave, the 1st and 8th Biotopes with relative ease. Another shown of intelligence is that it was able to counter the abilities of the Four Heavenly Kings, by letting its "limbs" fight them before.
In its root-like appearance, its incredibly strong being able to destroy several skyscrapers with one swipe of its arms. It also able to grow a large amount of tentacles from its bodies to grapple objects.
Four Beast releasing a green cloud.
After absorbing it's "limbs", it's able to release a toxic cloud from it's mouth which can cover an area the size of Gourmet town quickly. The cloud releases a green rain, known as 'Illness Rain,' which is toxic to the human body and upon contact can kill it within the hour. It also is able to release a cloud of adhesive particles, which is able to restrain the movement of Sani's hair movement.
The Four Beast also has incredible control over its body and is capable of transferring the force of impact to any other point on it or anything its in contact with, such as when it prevented Zebra's Beat Punch from hurting it by sending it out its back or channeling Sunny's attack into Quinn. It also has incredible strength to have a capture level of around 320 and easily overpower the Four Heavenly Kings.
