Summary
The Darkbeast is a type of boss and optional boss in Bloodborne. There are two Darkbeasts, one named Darkbeast Paarl, and another named Loran Darkbeast. Both are identical, but have different names and locations. The Darkbeast is a giant skeletal beast with long strands of blueish black hair that emanate electricity throughout its entire body. Its bones and skull appear to have engravings on them, perhaps a side effect of the lightning that permeates its very being.
