beastliness

This term carries a strong negative charge and is used to describe a complete lack of human refinement, whether in behavior or environment. It suggests a regression to a primitive, animalistic state.

When referring to cruelty or savagery, the word is often used in formal, literary, or historical contexts to describe atrocities that are so extreme they seem inhuman. It is more visceral than "cruelty" and implies a predatory or savage nature.

When referring to filth, the word describes a state of extreme dirtiness or squalor. In this context, it is often used to describe living conditions or personal hygiene that are perceived as disgusting or animal-like. This usage can range from descriptive to highly critical or disgusted.
