Чудовище means ‘a monster’. A beast is not always a monster.

Beast (from wiktionary)

1. Any animal other than a human; usually only applied to land vertebrates, especially large or dangerous four-footed ones.
— живо́тное, зверь.

2. (more specific) A domestic animal, especially a bovine farm animal.
— живо́тное, скоти́на.

3. A person who behaves in a violent, antisocial or uncivilized manner.
— живо́тное, зверь, скоти́на, тварь, чудо́вище.
