Who are the top beast units and favorites, and which games are they from?

Just curious as I know nothing outside FEH, and I think beast units ,ay appear sooner than later. Wondering who can we expect.

Most likely we would see the Fates beasts first, so Selkie, Kaden, Velouria, and Keaton.
Personally I'm waiting for Ranulf from Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn.

Panne because who DOESN'T want to vanquish evil with a frying panne?

Uh oh. Is this like Donnel who wears a pot on his head? Idk about that...

It isnt. Its just a meme

This is highly subjective but the most popular at least regarding cyl is Selkie by far. She is from FE Fates. She is the most popular beast unit from Fates. Most popular from FE Awakening is Panne, but there are only 2 in that game. As for FE 9/10 it seems to be Ranulf with Lethe being a close second

Tibarn too if I remember correctly :)

Yeah I forgot about him. He is definitely popular. Definitely the most popular flying one.

Flying beast? Sweet.

Yep! Tibarn is a hawk laguz, he's a really awesome character (in my totally biased opinion anyways lol)
Ranulf and Lethe are cat laguz
Panne is a taguel, a kind of rabbit creature
Selkie and Kaden are nine tailed foxes
Velouria and Keaton are wolfskin, some wolf beast creatures
Hopefully that helps a bit!

That’s awesome. I wonder how they will make it work with all of these guys. Nilla had a good take on a previous post.

Wow I didn’t realize there were so many different types. Thanks for sharing that.

The one dude is a rabbit and no female rabbits? For this kind of game that surprises me lol. Bunny ears Lucina: case in point

I honestly have no clue what IS will plan with all the weapon types they could make, I'm definitely excited to see how they go about it when they eventually release beasts. I think it would be awesome to hype beast units up more for the FEH newcomers with a free beast ally or even a main antagonist that is a beast themselves.

Free beast! Hmm, book 3 maybe? It likely but you never know. Would be a great intro tho

I suspect it would be like dragons (green blue red colorless) but have a different gimmick, maybe wrapped up in the special or something

Oh Panne is actually a female rabbit taguel from Awakening, she has a son that's a second generation unit named Yarne, they're the only two taguel that are alive during the time period of the game

Oh okay! Thought people said “he”so I read it wrong. That’s cool

Well... Panne's unmarried ending states that there were other survivors.

Oh wow I had no idea, ahhh this is all because I didn't use her more

Tibarn just by being a hawk gets my vote

I think Keaton and Kaden are totally cool! They're bound to be in the same banner!

I'd love to get those two, but I also really want Yarne. They're all so cute, I wanna pet their ears.

Only the fluffy ones!

Naturally. :)

So im guessing most beasts are high speed, low attack (except maybe wolves have mid to high attack)?

Well they're all quite different depending between species and such. The beasts from Fates for example are only kitsunes (foxes) and wolfskins.
Kitsunes have exceptionally high speed and res.
Wolfskins have really high attack and defense.

That makes sense. Looks like I was on the right track!

I'd say it's quite possible that we'd get Lethe, in the Radiant Dawn banner if they're gonna add beast units to the game.

The majority are high speed however. With a few exceptions like wolves who are more balanced, wolfskin who are like speedy knights which doesnt say much, heron laguz, tiger laguz, and dragon laguz.

If you combine CYL votes resulting from the PoR/RD split (and the SD/MotE split), you have Selkie, Tibarn, Ranulf, Keaton, Panne, Kaden, Velouria, Lethe, Leanne, and Reyson as the top 10. Selkie (in 24th) has a 2k lead on Tibarn (in 33rd), but aside from Reyson they're all in the top 100.
Selkie, Keaton, Kaden, and Velouria are from Fates, Panne is from Awakening, and everyone else is from PoR/RD

I'd say that how they structure the banners is entirely dependent on what color assignments are given to different 'weapons' like Talons/Claws/Beaks (PoR/RD do make a distinction) or if they just do Whatever with them like they did with Dragons, but it's pretty safe to say that the first beast unit banner would be centered around Fates and that Panne would be thrown onto the first Awakening banner after that.

Fun fact that's actually not fun at all: all the Beast Units from Fates are more popular than any of the Fates characters added since CYL2, which is infinitely more frustrating than the whole "there's been four nonseasonal fates-exclusive banners in the past 12 months" thing

I do like the idea of talons, beaks, claws, fangs being exchangeable only by types of beasts. Unless they generalize it. Obviously a beak weapon on a wolf won’t quite be convincing...

My idea is to have the beasts be differend movement types to make than more unique:
Armor: Wolfkin, Lion
Infantry: Laguz wolf, Tiger, Kitsune
Cavalier: Cat, Taguel.
Flying: birds

Well the biggest games for em are Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn.

They are a giant part of the story there, since about half the continent of Telius has people transforming into beasts, called Laguz.

There's the beast tribes: Cats, Tigers and Lions. With Wolfs being a bit more seperate.
The Bird tribes: Hawks, Ravens and Herons.
Lastly the dragon tribe.

The beast units in Fates are quite populair, but not nearly as plot relevant (Awakening's Taguel are equally unimportant)

If we get beast units, I'm betting that we get like 5 at first.
If I had to guess: Selkie, Keaton, Panne, Tibarn and Ranulf.

Makes sense. I see IS holding the one or two top favorites back like they did with the first 6 months for Ike.

I can see them adding a character like Lethe in as a 4* who a lot of people like, but isn't super populair like Selkie or Tibarn are.
If they realese it, it's likely with one or two populair characters as 5*. The Laguz royals are most certainly gonna be 5* only. Selkie very likely too.

Lethe at 4 stars?! Hell yeah! As for Selkie or Velouria or Tibarn... Fuck.
