The Beast from the East	comment	The Beast from the East is a Goosebumps book about an Absurdly High-Stakes Game.Ginger Wald and her twin brothers Nat and Pat are lost in a bizarre part of the woods.Soon they encounter a group of large, furry creatures playing a strange variation of tag, and are forced to join in themselves.The penalty for losing? Their lives!It is one of the nineteen original series books that was not adapted into the 1995 TV series, likely because the show didn't have the necessary special effects budget. There was an event based on it in Goosebumps HorrorTown.

The Beast from the East / int_1086f287	type	Sure, Let's Go with That
The Beast from the East / int_1086f287	comment	Sure, Let's Go with That: At the barbecue after playing the game in which they lost, Nat and Pat are standing beside each other in front of the Beasts, causing them to believe that the two along with Ginger are Level Three players. Realizing this means that she and her brothers wouldn't have to be eaten due to this, Ginger goes along with this assumption so they could all go home.

But he then goes to pet it, to which it nearly bites his finger off with its sharp teeth, much to his shock.

Not only that, but a player can also get eaten when found on a "free lunch square" as well as being placed in a cage to be eaten when the game is over as punishment for touching the "penalty rock".

This also occurs as a plot point later on, as Pat gets scared by a squirrel in a tree and runs off, to which he disappears for a significant amount in the book. But when Nat ends up locked up for breaking a rule, Ginger bumps into what she believes is him, thinking that he escaped. But it was actually Pat, having found her.

When she first sees one of the Beasts eat a gourd, she is happy to see that they eat fruit, and she assumes at first that all wild animals ate either meat, or fruits and vegetables. But she suddenly remembered that bears would eat both. Indeed, she quickly learns that the Beasts themselves are omnivores.

The Beast from the East / int_d73e0f7f	type	"Ray of Hope" Ending
The Beast from the East / int_d73e0f7f	comment	"Ray of Hope" Ending: Ginger gets tagged by a level 3 beast at the end, meaning that the level 3 beasts will be starting a much harder version of the game with her as "it". However, now that the kids know the way back to their camp, they can try to sneak away instead of playing the game, unlike during the first game where they didn't know the way out. The book is narrated in past tense first person perspective by Ginger, and the story never implies Posthumous Narration, so the signs seem to point in favor of them surviving.

The Beast from the East / int_e9e35e8f	comment	Exact Words: At the end of the book, when the Beasts are convinced that the children are Level Three players and shouldn't be in this game, they ask them why they didn't tell them sooner. Ginger, taking advantage of this so she and her brothers can get out of being barbecued and eaten, tells Fleg that they didn't want to play, but the Beasts wouldn't listen.

The Beast from the East / int_f5eda11	comment	Mix-and-Match Critters: The beasts look like a mix between bears, gorillas, and beavers. Also, a helpful squirrel-dog hybrid gives Ginger and Pat a hiding spot at one point. Additionally, Ginger and the twins meet a small creature that is a mix between a squirrel and a rabbit.

The Beast from the East / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Ginger and Nat are at one point tangled in snakes that are about to bite, when Fleg (one of the Beasts) comes by. The children plead for him to help get the snakes off of them, to which Fleg obliges by carefully unwrapping the slithery creatures away from them.
