Fluffy primate-killing beast familiar tamed by Humanity
Obligatory fate/typemoon series content warnings apply
A "cute animal" that appears to be able to freely walk around the Chaldea Security Organization. However, Fou states that if he were let to normally mature, he would eventually degenerate into an "unsightly monstrosity."
In truth, Fou is the 4th Beast among the 7 beasts in Fate/Grand Order. It sacrificed its own power as BEAST IV to revive Mashu Kyrielight, giving her a normal human's lifespan. After that, it apparently became a normal animal beast, giving up it’s sentience.
… though, it sure seems to still be plenty sentient. Maybe it’s still got some of its power left…
The form known as “Fou” exists in timelines, where the Common Sense of Man pulses with life, and the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors do not exist as an organization, halting it’s maturity as a Beast.

SKILLS.
- Cath Palug feeds upon the Envy and regret of mankind to become stronger.
- Under certain circumstances, Cath Palug is capable of enacting a miracle that exceeds the scope of Magic -- "the Complete Revocation of Death". More specifically, he was able to resuscitate Mash Kyrielight, but this was possible only due to the extra-temporal nature of the context of her death, the interior of Ars Paulina. So to facilitate the process, Cath Palug consumed the majority of the Magical Energy he had accumulated across the centuries of his lifetime, using it to fuel the transference of his Force of Providence to Mash, and overwriting the limitations of her remaining lifespan (3 days). However, as he wasn't yet an adult of his species, he was capable only of granting Mash a lifespan comparable to that of a normal human -- at the cost of his own Sapience and his Characteristic as a Beast of Calamity.
- He has since been witnessed communicating in snippets of human language even after this, however, so it is unclear as to how much of his intelligence was actually sacrificed.
- He has even demonstrated the ability to escape the Chains of Heaven or enter inside Nega-Genesis to aid Ritsuka by teleporting him right above Tiamat's weak spot, even though it can instantly destroy Servants by denying all established forms of life. He is also capable of teleportation, time reversal, and roars that can stun the undead.
CLASS SKILLS.
- Independent Manifestation is a capacity that permits the unrestricted projection and materialization of the soul, permitting the skillholder to freely manifest within a time period and location of one's choosing. Being that the skillholder's soul fundamentally exists in a place beyond the boundaries of life and death and the limits of the History of Humanity, time travel may be enacted at will; and the projected flesh is in essence an immortal puppet controlled by the skillholder's consciousness.
- Authority of the Beast is an Anti-Human Skill that enhances the skillholder's capacity to harm existences that are classified as Humans
- Self-Modification is the aptitude to remold one's own body or merge one's own flesh with body parts of others. The higher the ranking in this Skill, the further away one is from being a proper hero.
- Nega skills are possessed by each Beast, unique to each one. Cath Palug’s Nega Skill is unknown.
NOBLE PHANTASMS.
PRIMATE MURDER. Primate Murder is the form taken by Cath Palug in worlds where he was not able to obtain a different perspective on humans by staying with Merlin. Primate Murder came to be under Altrouge Brunestud's control at some point.
Primate Murder, the Murderer of Primates, has the "absolute right of killing over man", a "super advantage" over primates, so it is counted amongst the world's strongest beings. Compared to Angra Mainyu who would normally be the best existence at killing humans, Primate Murder, along with Type Mercury, is a better murderer who far surpasses him in terms of the speed with which it is able to kill humans. It takes seven guardians to control it, and like Type Mercury, it is considered to be in a league of its own compared to beings like Servants and other Dead Apostle Ancestors. It is owned by Altrouge and only listens to her, so she can be said to be a greater monster than Crimson Moon in a way. While not a Dead Apostle, it has, in mimicking its master, developed a taste for human blood.
