After an encounter with the @the-malice-twins, Basilicarnis takes over Florian’s body and revenge and to remake his new kingdom…
*Korai limped slightly, wounds dotted his body after getting into a little scuffle with Geeta. He went to tend to his wounds in a part of the woods close to fringes of the woods.*
Korai: Hallowed Tera, I hope I don’t encounter any more of the peach’s forces.
*Korai grumbled slightly before finding a cave good enough for him to rest in.*
Ok so Cookie Run hyperfix go brrrr I wanna talk about the Beasts for a bit :)
I’m absolutely loving these guys so far; they’re such good mirrors of each of the Ancient Heroes (especially Shadow Milk to Pure Vanilla, but that’s a topic plenty of people have talked about before lol). Them being negative flips on the Ancients’ virtues, showing how even things like Knowledge and Resolution can have harmful sides, is something I enjoy a lot, and I’m looking forward to what the game does with Eternal Sugar and Silent Salt once they release.
Right now though I want to ramble about their title: Beasts. Why are they called the Beasts? Aside from the mass destruction and chaos they caused, the name doesn’t seem all that fitting. They aren’t animalistic in any inherent way; they aren’t “mindless beasts” as the saying goes. They were former heroes and saviors that had a fall from grace.
I’ve seen some fan works giving them more beastly forms they can change into like the Dragon Cookies do. And if anyone knows me, you know I love a good old transforming/shapeshifting character! So I latched on to this headcanon real quick, cause honestly it would make their title make a lot more sense. Also it’s just cool :)
So, what sort of creatures would these theoretical other forms resemble? Time to analyze each character, their design inspirations, their symbolism, and more to determine this. This got long, so I’ll put it under a cut
Shadow Milk already has a very clear connection to snakes, both through the religious symbolism with the Garden of Eden (which is seen in his gacha animation via a snake eating an apple; image below), and with snakes often representing lies and trickery; Deceit.
So him being something snake-like is the obvious choice.
Mystic Flour is also relatively easy: spiders. There is an abundance of spider enemies in the Pagoda areas, with the boss of the first half being the Webbed Spider Queen:
This spider already bears a resemblance to Mystic Flour, with its abdomen having markings that look like her face and Soul Jam. It also comes out of Mystic Flour’s cocoon, which honestly looks like the stereotypical “spider cocooned its prey” depiction, background webs and all.
Mystic Flour cookie’s philosophy about enlightenment and letting go of worldly desires is heavily based on Buddhist beliefs, and spiders actually do have some symbolism in Buddhism and the Vedic philosophy from India. In the Vedas, spiders are depicted as hiding reality in illusion, similar to the illusory perfection Mystic Flour creates. And a spider web is a common way of explaining the Buddhist concept of interpenetration; all phenomena in the universe being interconnected. Less connection to Mystic Flour there, but I wanted to note it.
Burning Spice also has religious symbolism behind him, this time coming from Hinduism. He is heavily based on the destruction deity Shiva’s more wrathful depictions. In Hinduism, destruction is more of a neutral force; part of the balance of the universe along with creation and preservation (the deities Brahma and Vishnu respectively). Burning Spice being such a harsh inversion of that neutrality fits the Beasts’ theme of being twisted virtues.
Shiva has a few animals associated with him, such as bulls, cobras, deer, and the one most important for this discussion: the tiger. Burning Spice already has stripe markings on his arms, and his main follower that we see in the game is Nutmeg Tiger Cookie.
Making Burning Spice a tiger would be a bit odd because of Nutmeg Tiger’s existence as one of his followers, but the idea of a giant, wrathful, firey tiger is just too perfect for Burning Spice in my eyes. Maybe add in some bull features to make him stand apart a bit more.
Eternal Sugar and Silent Salt I can’t really do much with yet since we don’t know anything about them other than their respective corrupted virtues, being Sloth and Silence. Eternal Sugar’s design seems to have an Angel and Devil theming, so perhaps some sort of bird? And Silent Salt I have absolutely no ideas for. I’ll have to figure these two out once they get added to the game and we learn more about them.
Anyways, hope yall enjoyed this silly analysis thing :) Also take a bonus doodle of snake/dragon Smilk that we did before making this post and that inspired us to write it in the first place lol (design still being workshopped; looking at him now we really should have made his hair into a cobra hood)
There had apparently been some leaked or revealed concept art for the beast cookies. Back then, they were all actually very insect designed, with some traits carrying with them to the final designs.
So the beast might be a holdover part that they changed.
for the insects: Shadow milk was a beetle. His jester horns/hat being a beetles wings. Burning spice was a multi limbed centipede. I forget mystic flour and silent salt. Eternal Sugar was a fluffy moth.
OOOO THEY WERE BUGS?? Oh I DO love that; the holdover traits definitely explain Burning Spice’s antenna-like hair and the spider connection for Mystic Flour; and centipede Spice fits with the Shiva connection too since Shiva’s depicted with multiple limbs a lot! Beetle Smilk is a very interesting idea, hmm…. And moth Sugar sounds adorable
*Basilicarnis thought to himself, maybe this ‘Nemona’ from the other universe has energy I can steal from. And perhaps I can also steal her Pokémon’s energy as well.*
Basilicarnis: call over Ting-pao, and we’ll make a plan of what to do.
Basilicarnis: Good morning Ting-pao. Yu-chien had just talked to me on some new information she had found about on Pechakeen’s forces. The twins are going to be joining Pechakeen’s and Nemona, the battle hungry one, is the weakest one of the peach’s forces. Her Pokémon are powerful, but it’ll be easy to ambush her if one of us distracts her with a battle.
Basilicarnis: It appears that we need to create a plan to attack the peach’s forces and to be quick. I will confront Nemona with Florian’s pokemon.
*the draconic humanoid summoned Florian’s garchomp and tinkaton, both of the pokemon were covered in strange markings and looked more monstrous then before as a dark red aura seemed to emanate from the pokemon.*
Basilicarnis: I and Yu-chien will confront the twins. Ting-pao, take care of the weakest link in the peach’s forces. However, something about her makes me think she might be much more of a threat if we don’t handle her. Unless anyone has some suggestions for my plan, I’m more than eager to hear them...
Basilicarnis: If I know anything from my previous invasion, it’s that you should NEVER underestimate your enemy no matter what. Just in case, I will Ghal Maraz and the otodus (Florian’s garchomp) with you.

Scarlet ruin: perhaps... instead of running away, you two could join forces with me? Such power that you two hold shouldn't be wasted in merely destroying the enviroment... perhaps we can make a truce... What do you two say?
Scarlet ruin: I am no mere BEAST, my two, new treasures of ruin. As for the truce, there is a particular thorn in my side that might cause some issues for our new kingdom. Do any of you two know of the never rotting peach and their thralls that dwell within the woods of Kitakami?
Scarlet ruin: I was talking about Pechakeen. You see, my vessel, Florian, had a run in with two of pechakeen’s minions. We nearly had one at the grasp of death before he ran like a coward. For the time being, the reason why I had to take over was because of one of them giving the young soul through hell.
*The scarlet ruin growled in frustration as he thought on Connor and Connie.*
”Ah, that one. I think we can take them on. But finding an exact location will be difficult. However, I know a way.”
*Thanks to her powers, Yu-Chien morphs into Malice!Penny*
*Kori was shocked at the human trapped within the small rectangular box, letting out a surprised chirp in response to. However, they adjust themselves and wonder who the strange human trapped inside the strange rectangular box wanted from them.*
//Kori has no fucking clue how rotom phones work. Neither does Florian because he was raised in a more rural-esqe part of a small region like kitakami.
*Kori looked confused at the name the strange human called him. Who was this “Ares?” Such a koraidon kinda sounded like some of the bigger and older members of his tribe before both him and his brother were separated by the portal to the surface.*
Sada: W-Who’s trying to take control? And where are you?
*Sada was beginning to get worried for the mortal deity as She saw them in pain. Kori on the other hand, looked more worried hearing the conversation anc wanting to help.*
