In Naruto, Tailed beasts are gigantic creatures who are a physical manifestation of chakra created from the Ten-Tails by the Sage of Six Paths. They were created in order to prevent the resurrection of the Ten-Tails as well as to maintain balance and peace in the world.

Every tailed beast possesses peculiar abilities and because of that, the Shinobis subdue and turn them into weapons against enemies. Each beast in Naruto has a unique appearance and some of their designs are flawless, more so than others.
