Beast 1:
Mourning Dove
Nature: Morning Dove
Size: 1'6" (tall) 3' (Wingspan)
Weight: 35 pounds
Tiny by mega-beast standards, the Mourning Dove is no less dangerous than its heftier foes. Feigned emotion is its greatest asset; the outward perception is that of an inconsolable mess, ridden with the pain of loss. Secretly though, its full of kinetic fury. Capable of sound barrier breaking speed. Razor sharp beak and claws.

Beast 2:
Sphynxtaur
Nature: human/lion/eagle/bull
Size: 7' (Tall) 28' (Wingspan)
Weight: 1 ton
A hybrid the stuff of legend - Sphynxtaur: part sphynx, part minotaur, and part griffin. Brutish strength, animalistic savagery, and a human-like intellect. Preferred approach is to devour prey, and well, to drop droppings as it flies. Scatological, sure, but this thing can digest with the best of them.

Beast 3:
Bat el Ex
Nature: Ecuadorian tube lipped nectar bat
Size: 4' (tall) 14' (Wingspan)
Weight: 390 pounds
Able to fly at super fast speeds and deliver long distance attacks with its tongue (150% the length of its body). Tongue can twist in knots - in one gruesome variant, a noose, used for the old 'lasso, lift n' hang' attack. The Bat el Ex becomes extra vicious if it happens to have a hot flush while in a fight, after which it initiates its secret weapon: Hormonal Passive Aggressive Attacks, which reduce other fighters into emotional heaps, although it might not happen until later after the battle, and the combatant won't know why it is so upset. Draw backs are the likely chance of depression caused by the belief that Bat el Ex is past its prime. Requires Chapstick on its person at all time.

Beast 4:
Swanflict
Nature: Swan
Size: 6' (Tall) 10' (Wingspan)
Weight: 300 lbs
The latest generation of the true swan bloodline. Common swans betray the beast's true essence, of an alpha predator! Wings so fine they cut like knives, with detachable, throwing feathers. Characterized by grace and cunning. So white it reflects the sun, causing temporary blindness. Has an eagle eye (a term that swans hate by the way, as it is a bastardized form of the original 'swan's eye'). With it, amazing aim - Swanflict is able to hit a target dead on, from more than a mile away. An intolerable arrogance, befitting of its lineage.

Beast 5:
Luck-Billed Platypus
Nature: Platypus
Size: 3'5" (Long) 3'5" (Tall)
Weight: 300 lbs
A diminutive, peculiar monster, with a magical nature, as perplexing to foes as the platypus is to mammalia as a whole. Lacks all but the most rudimentary physical attacks: sharp teeth, claws. Far though from harmless: can manipulate reality, in particular probability, to its advantage. Should a dive-bomb attack be heading LBP's way, oh look, it misses. Should a knife-like feather be hurdling towards its blind-side, hey well, it bounces off a rock, to return upon its thrower. A charmed fellow, to be sure.
