chance of accidentally destroying the box when using it.

* Fire beasts resist and breathe fire.
* Ox beasts resist cold, are armoured with thick fur, and can knock back foes.
* Shock beasts resist electricity and can transform into living lightning.
* Sting beasts resist poison and have a reaching poison-tail attack.
* Weird beasts can see invisible and attack with constricting tentacles.
As far as anyone knows, all beasts have exactly two of these traits.
