The Beauty of the Beasts presented a modern bestiary inspired by ancient mythology, with artwork by Rowynn Ellis depicting creatures hidden across a mysterious, mist-covered island. The drop balanced the untamed and ferocious nature of its subjects with an ethereal, almost enchanting atmosphere. Its combination of mythological inspiration and a unified fantasy setting gave the collection a distinctive storybook-like identity.
