Fyanna, Kallus, Lylyth, Vayl don't have character beasts at the moment. I understand that not every caster needs, nor should have a character beast.
However, I got an idea for a character beast for Lylyth that I really wanted to share. I also figured, since I had the time, that I'd also do the same for our other warlocks.
Fyanna "Nephilim" Blightblade light Role: Skirmishing, Assassin Bond: Grievous Wounds Animus: Extended Control Range Features: Parry, Sprint
Kallus Mutating carnivean-esque heavy Role: Tank, "Recursion" Bond: Hyper Regeneration Animus: Elasticity Features: Melee kills spawn Incubi, Overtake
Lylyth Pair of Raek-esque, light beasts Role: Skirmishing and Enabling Bond: Extended Control Range Animus: Doppler Bark Features: Warbeast pack, Jump, Stealth, 1 with a Spray, 1 with Knockdown
Vayl Bi-pedal, Nephilim heavy Role: Spell support and light ranged damage Bond: Vayl may channl through it. Animus: Arcane Suppression Features: "Geomancy" for legion, Telemetry
These are my ideas, feel free share to share your own. |

I like that you included the role. A lot of wishlisting forgets that part.

I'd swap sprint to the animus on Fyanna's beast, and make extended control passive. Currently, as an animus you can't recast it when out of control, which is nkinda the point of having extended control in the first place.

Thagrosh
epic Typhon, gargantuan
Role: attrition, late game hammer
Bond: Animus does not cause damage, costs one Fury less
Animus: Hasty creation - 3 Fury, caster cuts itself for d3 HP, a lesser warbeast pops up. Self
Features: maybe another head? Hyper regen in any case. May also pop out a lesser every time it is hurt, once per turn + shield guard. So the longer the game lasts, the stronger and more numerous your army gets.
It is just logical, Typhon is in essence a dragon, and when he grows so will his powers, and making spawn is one of those powers. Bloodseer cannot use his animus, so no excessive shredder spawnings.

Currently, as an animus you can't recast it when out of control, which is nkinda the point of having extended control in the first place. My idea for the ECR animus was orr it to be RNG6" and for it to be cast at the start of activation. The beast would move in, kill or put on damage via forcing for attacks, and sprint back into control range for next turn.
It'd also be nifty for Fyanna's existing Flying Circus to push a Neraph out and attack something 25" (12[CTRL]+2[50mm]+10[charge]+1[melee]) from her similar to Kaya1 or Hexeris2's feats.
Edit: Now that I think about that threat range, as long as you can find a landing zone and the enemy isn't camping too much they're gonna get assassinated aren't they? I guess they removed parry from the fly rule back in Mk1 for good reason.
@drakenblut So basically a Hydra that craps out lessers? As soon as lessers get buffed this would be hilarious to run. CotD would be good for access to the Beast Mistresses.

Why is everybody so on this train of Lylyth with a character raek? I get that she's featured with a raek in one story and it makes sense with her position as a scout/vanguard but still, how about a character seraph?
Leilel:
Seraph chassis
SPD7 STR9 MAT6 RAT6 DEF14 ARM16 CMD4
Breath of Light
SP10 POW - ROF1; Cont. Fire, Flare, +2MOV when charging models hit
Stinger - same as seraph
Animus: Repo 5
Eyeless sight, soulless, flight
Bond: Extended Control range

Despite my disparaging comment earlier, I'm gonna jump on this raek bandwagon Orthrus Blighted Argus Animus: dopplebark Attacks Bark: SP6 POW12 Cont. Fire Woof: SP6 POW10 Deafen Choose one, Bark or Woof and attack 2x. Bitex2 POW 12 Combo strike Bounding leap, Stealth, Bond: Guard Dog |

An anti-jack Nephilim (trained and created by Vayl, who studied Focus power and mechanika, with material stolen from Retribution, as well as study in Thrullg anatomy; Unique)
Blighted disassembly tools: 2XP+S 11, Erosion, critical Devastation
Precision strike
Cortex eater (if this model destroys a cortex it can teleport 8in away and remove any Fury on it)
Animus: the one Slag Troll has
Bond with Vayl: boosted attacks and damage vs construct targets in Vayls CTRL.
It should be able to decortexify an entire line of warjacks or severely damage/kill a Wold. Is it OP? IMO, Everblight needed a dedicated Jack killer for a long time now, and Vayl looks like she is the one with enough insight to develop it. If it is OP, just make Cortex Eater once per turn.

I always thought that a character Naga would be cool for Vayl. Either ice-themed (Bond: Chiller, Crit Stationary gun, Shatter on melee) or something more magical-sneaky (Incorporeal animus? Shadow Fire? Obviously not both...)

And those are big ones, one when she extracts her athanc shard when beaten by Cult of Pyromalfic, and the second one when killing Baldur through impossible odds. Both those Raeks got killed, so can't really take one of them as a character. Fliers work for her too, I would like a character Seraph. I don't think your needs Flare, though. |

Bitex2 POW 12 Combo strike Bounding leap, Stealth, Bond: Guard Dog Bounding leap/Doppler bark with Guard Dog sounds like skornergy to me.
Also, I think it'd be best to start branching out away from "character versions" of existing beasts. Unlike the other factions, Everblight is a artist who can sculpt as he wishes.
Currently we have: 1 mini/pseudo-dragon, Typhon 2 Nephilim, Zuriel and Azrael, though I'm sure there were some "modifications" to Azrael 1 "modified" carnivean, Proteus whatever Belphagor is supposed to be.

Belphegor is a modified stinger. |
