Beast-Yeast (Korean: 비스트이스트 대륙, bisutu-isutu daelyug, "Beast-Yeast Continent") is an enigmatic continent in the east-northeast portion of Earthbread's Cookie Kingdom landmass. This treacherous land is home to the argent Faerie Kingdom alongside the banished Beast Cookies and their domains.
Beast-Yeast is the subject and stage of World Exploration: Beast-Yeast.
Summary[]
The geography of Beast-Yeast remains a mystery as well. Its map, drawn based on the stories of those who went to Beast-Yeast and returned, still contains far too many blank spots.

Flora & Fauna[]
Candyceps-infected Deer[]
The Candyceps fungus appears to be based on the Ophiocordyceps genus of fungus. Often being colloquially conflated with the Cordyceps genus, fungi in the Ophiocordyceps genus are parasitic in nature and are infamous for being able to control their host's body—though, in real life, they generally only affect insects.
Jelly Tardigrade[]
The Jelly Tardigrade is inspired by the real-life tardigrade, a microscopic animal often referred to colloquially as the water bear. This nickname likely inspired the Jelly Tardigrade's bear ears, which also draws it back to Bear Jellies as a species. Its inclusion also continues the microscopic biology theming of Beast-Yeast most notably seen in the Yeast Spore.
The real tardigrade is just as resilient as the Jelly Tardigrade and can be equally as carnivorous as the Jelly Tardigrade concept art suggests it is.
Yeast Spores[]
The Yeast Spore in general, while obviously being based on the microscopic yeast, appears to serve as a stand-in for eucaryotic cells in the Cookie Run universe. Similar to the connection between humans/animals and their cells, the Yeast Spore is said to be the "smallest unit of Cookie life," normally being microscopic and only being visible at all in Beast-Yeast due to mutations allowed by the land's untamed environment.
More Yeast Spores[]

The Five Beasts[]
The Five First Cookies, imbued with the Virtues of Knowledge, Volition, Happiness, Change, and Solidarity, were sent to Earthbread to walk its tempestuous lands as envoys of the Godly Creators and sow the seeds of order and civilization. Yet, for reasons unknown, one by one, they turned to evil. No longer saviors of the world, the five took on the name 'Beasts.'
The Five Beasts are five prehistoric, Soul Jam-holding Cookies baked by the Witches to spread order and create civilization throughout their newly-created lands. Each of these Cookies for their own reasons turned to lives of evil, and the sacred Virtue imbued in each was inverted and twisted into something grim. The five were sealed away in Beast-Yeast by the Witches to protect Earthbread.
Each Beast appears to represent a region of Beast-Yeast:
- Shadow Milk Cookie: Spire of Deceit & Truth/Blue Tower
- Eternal Sugar Cookie: Forgotten Sugar Paradise/Sugar Paradise
Mystic Flour Cookie: Flour Peak of Transcendence/Flour Mountains
Burning Spice Cookie: Great Destroyer's Tomb/Spice Ridge- Silent Salt Cookie: Land of Silence/Black Salt Flatland
