Here's my THEORY about the Beast and the Chimera inside it. (My theory is alot like yours actually)

The Chimera used a host for the Beast is a Werewolf/Oni hybrid.

Why this combination?

Werewolf: Maybe it's easier for the Beast to take control of someone who is a Werewolf too.

Oni: Used to easily drawn the shadows around the Chimera to form the Beast.

How is it possible for the Beast to look the same way it did in the 1700s?

Well, what if it looks like this only because it's resurrected? What if this is the second time the Beast has been brought back to life? From what Scott and Stiles concluded, the Demon Tailor (1598) and the Beast of Gévaudan are the same person. The Demon Tailor most likely died at some point and someone brought him back in the 1750s and he died again. Now the Dread Doctors are bringing him back again but they're trying to make him remember who he was before. What if, in the 1750s, the Beast never remembered who he was and that's why he was so rampageous and killed so many people?

(Yes I know, that's a lot of what ifs, but it's just a theory.

Basically, to make it clearer:

In the 1590s, the Demon Tailor was a normal Werewolf. He died.

In the 1750s, someone brought him back inside someone's body and he was now a Werewolf made of shadows. People called him The Beast of Gévaudan. He never remembered who he was. He was killed by an Argent.

In 2012, the Dread Doctors brought him back inside a Chimera's body and he still looks like a Werewolf made of shadows. The Dread Doctors are trying to make him remember who he was.

Again, this is just a theory.
