It also had the ability to possess mutiple hosts. At one point, it was in control of several dozen Ood.

It claimed to be older than the universe.

History
The Beast was imprisoned on a planet that was artificially made to be orbiting a black hole. It was indicated that before time itself a great battle was fought between the Beast and the Ancients, in which the Beast was imprisoned.
