Empty

Once promised saviors, the five became twisted apostles of evil and brought forth darkness and devastation.

The Five Beasts, also known as the Beast Cookies or simply the Beasts, are a group of primordial once-heroes who parallel the Ancient Heroes. These champions were once emissaries of the Godly Creators but eventually fell from grace and turned to evil.

Beast Cookies are the most difficult Cookie Rarity to obtain at present; their Soulstones do not appear in the Gacha until after the major update that they are released, and their chances of being pulled are even lower than those of other Super Epic+ Rarities. They aren't available through most of the means that even Ancient Soulstones or Soulprisms can be obtained. The Gacha of Fate offsets this by increasing the pull chances for a given Beast Cookie and having a pity system, but only after their respective Awakened Ancient Cookie has been released, which occurs in the subsequent update.

Beast Cookies share an upgrading system with Awakened Ancients: instead of having ascension levels, Beasts can be promoted up to 6 stars, with the final star costing over 100 Soulstones. Beasts' physical appearances are given extra details every 2 stars of promotion, and their lobby background is upgraded upon reaching 4 stars.

Story

The story begins when this very Silver Tree was only a small sapling... When the World of Desserts was at its infancy. The Witches baked five Cookies to help them in their creation of the world.

"... harness the radiance bestowed upon you for the betterment of this world..."

And the five Cookies imbued with absolute powers walked Earthbread as almighty envoys of the Great Creators. Knowledge, Volition, Happiness, Change, and Solidarity. The Dessert World bound by these Five Virtues was nothing short of paradise.

Alas... The perfect age was short-lived. Absolute power begets nothing but arrogance. It inevitably corrupts its wielder, bringing them to the most tragic of ends... A fate even the Witches were unable to foresee. One by one, the Five, once regarded as saviors of the Cookie World, gradually turned to Darkness. And thus, the Five Virtues, too, became distorted, twisted... Reduced to Deceit, Apathy, Sloth, Destruction, and Silence.

Now known as the Five Beasts, the apostles of evil began their dark crusade... And forth they brought great destruction and suffering. The Witches could not bear to see what fate had befallen their creations. They punished the Beasts by sealing them away deep within this land. And planted the seed of the Silver Tree to ensure their evil power never sees the light of day again. From then on, this land where the Beasts were put to sleep, was called Beast-Yeast.

The Witches then gathered the last vestiges of power bestowed upon the Beasts, untouched by their corruption. They further cleansed, purified it, and in the end... Soul Jam was created.

— Elder Faerie Cookie

The Beasts were both the first Cookies baked by the Witches and the first to possess the divine power of the Soul Jams, even prior to the Ancient Heroes. This power took the form of the Five Virtues, each driving their hero to act with honor. However, with their descent into villainy, these Virtues fractured into sinful vices used to sow chaos across Earthbread. It is said that the Witches sealed the Beasts away beneath Beast-Yeast using the Silver Tree and then refined the remnants of the Virtues into purified forms now properly known as the Soul Jams.

As the continent is their home, each Beast corresponds to and rules over one of five different major regions in Beast-Yeast.

It is later revealed in Silence of Conviction that the Beasts were sealed not by the Witches but rather by Silent Salt Cookie (known at the time as the Salt of Solidarity) and Elder Faerie Cookie—the godly Witches had long since gone mute by the time their Emissaries fell to vice. The pair called upon the Witches' forbidden knowledge and used the Salt of Solidarity himself as a sacrifice to perform the Beast-binding Ritual. Both to protect the seal and out of his own anguish, the tree-bound Salt of Solidarity requested Elder Faerie Cookie to fabricate a story of all of the Beasts turning to evil, as no one "would dare question the judgment of the Creators."

Spoilers end here!

Trivia

• The Beasts' flavors are derived from basic ingredients used in baking. This mirrors the Ancient Heroes' bases of common real-life flavor groups.
