THE BEAST IS DONOVAN and i BET ON IT!.

Here’s why:

He was given a detailed backstory with strong ties to the Stilinskis He was too unusually well developed to be a throwaway character The Morse Code on the teaser translates to “someone you know” Donovan has already been turned into a Chimera, so we know he’s not too old. We’ve only seen the Doctors turn people who are still human. The Dread Doctors tend to kill their failed experiments personally Donovan was killed by Stiles, not the Doctors or Theo Theo showed that dead Chimeras can be revived by the Doctors The pack thinks they’ve accounted for all the genetic chimaeras, but they wouldn’t think to consider someone they think is already/still dead Donovan’s violent, sadistic personality matches that of the Beast In 5x17 it was said that if the Beast remembers the man it was, it would revert back into the man, rather than the teenager, and I doubt they would foreshadow that if it didn’t end up happening The only other currently relevant possibility is that it’s Mason The writers are setting up Mason as the obvious choice, so having it not be him would be a dramatic twist. If the Beast either turns back into the man or is killed in 5x20, we lose Mason and waste all his future potential Donovan being replaced by the man or being killed as the Beast is a much less risky move
