Beacon is a slugcat who is somehow half miros-bird. Her original 'slugcat' face is obscured by her miros beak, and the face underneath is horribly scarred.  Her soft frills light up like a flashbang and she's a very fast little creature but she's very creepy. She communicates in little squawks. She can't clean her fur/feathers because of the largeness of her beak so she often gathers moss on her body. She has 2 sets of eyes, but the ones hidden away in her beak are pretty much blind and useless. Her glowing is caused by a diet of flarebombs (the bright fruits you find in the memory crypts in the game)
