Album cover of The Bestiary by Castle Rat, photographed by Courtney B. Hall, is a cinematic fantasy tableau bathed in ethereal cyan tones. At the center, “The Rat Queen” (Riley Pinkerton) rides a white unicorn across a barren, icy landscape, brandishing a glowing sword aloft. She wears a golden, scale-mail bikini and thigh-high boots, embodying a fierce, mythic warrior. In the background, a robed wizard figure holds a staff, enhancing the epic, otherworldly narrative. The band’s logo radiates light above, while the title appears in ornate script below. The image captures the album’s conceptual theme—a “book of beasts”—blending heavy metal bravado with high-fantasy storytelling. Illustrations by Alistair Strangwick-Rodgers and cover design by Chris Allison complete the mystical aesthetic.
