Bestiari Demon

The Bestiari Demon appears as Tommy Brace in the Charmed novel As Puck Would Have It.

He is an Upper Level demon in human form that drains Life Energy, also known as Life Force, from animals. He collects the energy and uses it to make himself stronger and also adapts the animals attributes, such as Strength, Speed, Agility, etc.

The demon needs to absorb the energy directly into his body. It takes three attempts to fully drain an animal's life-force, each time the animal gets weaker but it isn't fatal until the transfer of power is complete. As he collects spirits, he needs incrisingly more powerful animals to keep feeding his need.

In the novel, the demon travels with a circus to go from town to town.

The Bestiari is vanquished by Phoebe, Piper and Puck.
