An Always Female character mixing the archetypes of Beast Man and Amazonian Beauty. The Beastess is a female character who is big, strong, and intimidating, while showing primal or animalistic traits.
She is prone to Hulk Speak, and is often a Barbarian Heroine due having lived isolated from civilization in some way--whether she is raised by wild animals or a member of a primitive tribe. Occasionally she is only a Beastess in appearance, which can vary from being heavy set, to athletic, to even having Boobs of Steel, but always imposing in size and strength. Despite her "savage" traits and appearance, a Beastess can actually be a very calm, even intelligent character.
Depending on how much of beast there is in a Beastess, she can sometimes overlap with Cute Monster Girl.
Comics
- Supervillainess Orca (a member of Batman's Rogues Gallery) is a mix between a whale and a woman. She has a large, muscular, and imposing frame, as well as the largest chest of any female in batman's rogue's gallery.
Literature
- Taura, from the Vorkosigan Saga, nearly defines this trope. She's an eight-foot-tall genetically-modified Super Soldier with fangs who can rip people to shreds with her bare hands - and highly intelligent, with an unexpectedly sweet personality (and a fondness for pink frilly clothing). She much prefers intimidation to violence - she remarks at one point that, when trouble starts, she looms at people, and if that doesn't work she smiles.
- There are several in Cerberon, Sascia, who's a young hyena-girl. Junapur is a big, imposing and strong Petting Zoo Person, with (four) Boobs of Steel. Jena is a mule half, just as big, strong and intimidating as Junapur, but not as nice, and without such remarkable cleavage. She introduces herself to Thedrik with a punch in the face.
Tabletop Games
- Imrijka: A muscular, buxom half-orc lady in a red trenchcoat—is it any wonder she's already acquiring quite the fan following?
- Vampiresses of the Gangrel clan with the Striking Looks merit from Vampire: The Requiem.
- The "iconic" character of the clan, The Unholy, definitely qualifies if you don't look at her monstrous hands.
Video Games
- The female Orcs of World of Warcraft all fit.
- Some of the females trolls also fill the role nicely.
- Sheeva, introduced in Mortal Kombat 3, most certainly fits the bill. A member of the Shokan race, Sheeva was introduced as a faster, female version of Goro and Kintaro. In 3 (as well as the 2011 reboot), she was depicted as tall with a more muscular physique than the other girls, as showcased here. Sheeva went absent for the majority of the series afterwards as she apparently died, but when everyone was brought back for Armageddon, Sheeva was given a redesign with a darker skin tone and even more muscularity. Suffice to say, a good deal of fans wouldn't mind if Sheeva wailed on them.
- The Neverwinter Nights community mod series The Aielund Saga has a female half-orc mercenary captain late in the story who will flirt with a male player character.
- Raijin from Muramasa: The Demon Blade is an odd example of this trope, seeing as she's a goddess (however, this is accurate to Japanese Mythology, as the original Raijin resembled an oni). She's a towering, muscular, fight-loving woman with a very fiery temper. However, Raijin veers more towards Cute Monster Girl when her deredere side surfaces (moreso around her lover, the cute and adorable Fujin).
Webcomics
- Looking for Group has the priestess Benn'Joon, one of the main characters. She's an odd-looking, green-skinned, sharp-toothed Cute Monster Girl of canonically uncertain lineage (and prone to homicidal rages; even as a baby, she was able to stab full grown soldiers in the eyes).
- A more erotic version of trope is the appropriately-named Beastess, a World of Warcraft female Orc. She is a recurring character in a non linear webcomic found on World of Porn Craft.
Western Animation
- Fiona of Shrek, after her transformation into an ogress.
