Personally, I think taking it back to the Beast of Gevaudan was a great move since it's one of the most popular and recognisble werewolf stories, which adds more to the lore of the show.

It's also an "Enormous Hulking Super Werewolf" which will look awesome but also cause chaos all over Beacon Hills.

On another note it also reminds me of Doomsday from DC comics with the spikes and all of that.
