So far no one has at all mentioned that the original beast was anything but a werewolf. Lets also look at what we know about the oni. Though its true its limited. We know when they die they basically dont leave behind any kind of body. So how would the doctors be able to combine them with anything else. We don't know enough about the Oni to say the dread doctors could not use them. Look at berserkers. There are no real direct physical changes underneath the bone and fur armor, yet somehow we've got a berserker chimera.

As far as whether the original Beast was or was not more than werewolf, we cannot say.... but the fact that the Dread Doctors were using chimera to resurrect the Beast very much supports the theory that there was more to it.... as well as its weakness to silver, which other werewolves do NOT possess. Why would a plain-ish werewolf have a weakness other werewolves do not.

None of that is very far down a rabbit hole. These are things that will likely be answered by season's end.

And even if it were down the rabbit hole.... what does speculation   harm? No one expects speculation to be absolutely true, and no one expects everything in this forum to be canon.

If anything, free discussion is HEALTHY for the community. Not harmful.

I also disagree on the vast majority of what Paul deems as fanfiction.
