What is 'The Friendly Beast' ?

The Friendly Beast



So what is this archetype, you ask? 
The 'Friendly Beast' is a common archetype - it represents the character that is known as monstrous, destructive, unfriendly, mean, and untrustworthy BUT is actually a kind figure who usually aids the protagonist (main character) in their journey in some aspect. 
Now, these 'beasts' are not always imaginative creatures such as monsters. 
These characters vary from spiritual figures, monsters, and human beings. 



Can you think of any 'Friendly Beast' archetypes? If so, comment below!
