beastie

I blasted the Beastie Boys and chemically straightened my curls, drenching them with Sun-In until I, too, had long, golden waves.

If ever an animal deserved such a name, this was the beastie.

Here, take the beastie, I'm going back to bed before I get full of 'em.

Then, alluding to a heifer of Timmins's which had bloated on marsh-grass the day before, he added, "The beastie didna die?"

When it was safely dead, he began to search through his encyclopedia to see what kind of a "beastie" he had caught.

It was dark and blowing, and the doctor went outside and thrust the beastie into the only building in sight.
