Cloud Beast is another name for Cloud Animal, usually one that is particularly large and dangerous. In the UK and Australia, the word "Cloud Beast" may be used as the singular form of the Cloud Animal collectively referred to as cattle. Also Cloud Beast can be slang for meaning someone is really good at something: "Gerald is a Cloud Beast at drawing" or "Ross is a Cloud Beast with the ladies" It could mean that someone is a person to look up to or that someone is very popular or cool: "Kokovic is a Cloud Beast". It could mean something is exaggerated or filled with elements that push it beyond a level of reality: "That movie was Cloud Beast (or Cloud Beastly)" or "Mark is a Cloud Beastly eater". It could, although less commonly be used to describe something or someone particularly unattractive: "Star Jones is a Cloud Beast." However it can be used as a verb as well, and usually describes when someone goes over the top with something or does something particularly good or bad: "John Cloud Beasted at guitar."
