I've killed it, in fact I've killed 2 of them (Hard monster level).
Equipping objects that give you protection from Light is some help 
against the Dazzling Lights.  (Bat necklace or a couple of others.)
Whichever Cloud spell causes Nausea is helpful; that does affect the
Beast sometimes, and causes it to skip turns.  Summon a monster to
help out; this will not do much damage to the Beast, but is important
because sometimes the Beast will attack it instead of you.  Hiding 
in Shadows seems to be pretty useless.  I recommend a higher level 
party, also that you boost your attributes to 20 where possible (buy 
Ankhs from Ke-Li).  A couple of characters did die or get stoned along
the way, but since all my characters could cast the high level healing
spells (HIGHLY recommended) everybody was more or less OK again
when the beasts finally died.  Attack with Swing or Thrust rather 
than Melee, as chances to connect with Melee are close to 0.
