Lord Etna, or simply known as the beast, or the beast of fire mountain, is a supporting antagonist of the shanezilla series. he appears as the secondary antagonist of the dino king franchise, specifically the main antagonist of dino king 3D: journey to fire mountain. He is a giant reptilian monster who resides in the titular volcano.

Personality
Unlike the other villains of the franchise, the beast lacks any actual personality.

Physical appearance
The Beast is a giant, hideous iguana/dragon-like creature with greenish scales, red eyes, razor-sharp sharp teeth and claws, and spikes along his head and back, two of which on his head are larger than the rest. He is of epic proportions, being at least twenty times larger than a full-grown Tarbosaurus.

Personality and traits
Not much is known about the Beast's personality, as he only appears in one scene. However, he is shown to be vicious and aggressive towards those who trespass in his lair. It is also implied that he is cruel and sadistic, as he gives living baby dinosaurs to his own offspring both as playthings and food. However, this also shows that he cares for his children.

Powers and abilities
The Beast appears to be fireproof, as he was able to come out of molten lava with no signs of injuries. He is immensely strong and powerful, being able to knock over stone pillars just by walking into them and send a full-grown Tarbosaurus flying with a single swipe of his claws. He is also surprisingly fast and agile despite his massive size, although he can be clumsy in tight spaces. another power he has is being able to steal fire essence, making him bigger, smarter, stronger and more powerful.
