The Beast is a viral entity that acts as the antagonist in Barking Dog Studios' expansion set to Homeworld, Homeworld: Cataclysm. In this game the Beast is a virus that is able to use both mechanical and biological material to spread its matrix and melds the two into one living organism which it controls.
The Beast was unlocked by Kiith Somtaaw unwittingly when they recovered an artifact during the second mission of the single player campaign of Cataclysm. It originally came to the galaxy aboard a mysterious extragalactic vessel using an experimental hyperspace drive. The Beast is said to have come from hypersepace itself and infected the ship during the trip.
The Beast nearly destroyed most of the galactic civilization before the Somtaaw managed to destroy it, stopping the plague that they had unleashed.
