The Beast Killer (ビーストキラー Bīsuto kirā) is a Lance that appears in Fire Emblem Awakening, and Fire Emblem Fates. Like its name suggests, this lance is one that permits its wielder to inflict effective damage against all beast-based units, including Horses, Pegasi and Griffons. It also does extra damage against Taguels, Wolfskins and Kitsunes regardless of what class they are in. The Beast Killer can be perceived to be the Awakening rendition of the Horseslayer.
