I think that for a chimera to be a success the person has to want to become one. Theo willingly watched his sister die so that the Dread Doctors could put her heart into him. His body didn't reject the new DNA because his mind wasn't. With all the other chimeras, they were taken by the Dread Doctors and forced into it.

Now for why Eithen is the Beast. In the last episode it was said that the Beast was a chimera but wasn't on the list, Ethan and Aiden could merge their bodies into that big werewolf: one body, two sets of DNA, a chimera. (This is where I go totally into head canon) after Aidens death by the Oni, Ethan may have felt like he had lost part of himself. He would have been angry at himself and everyone around him because they had not saved Aiden. The Dread Doctors could have found him and offered him a way to feel whole again. They put the Beast into him which only heightened his anger. This could be why the Beast is the perfect killing machine, because the teenager underneath also wants to kill to advenge his brothers death.

Except his last scene with Danny kind of showcased that while he was rightfully saddened by his brother's death, he wasn't seething with anger or even gave a hint that he blamed Scott for it. His brother's killer was taken out.
