Els (エルス, Erusu?) is a recurring character in Beastars. She was the secret love interest of Tem before he was murdered by a carnivore student. Els seems to be very nervous. During the first chapter of Beastars, she is very cautious of Legoshi, a tall gray wolf from the drama club. When he confronts her, Els' first reaction is to grab a self-defense weapon to protect herself in the case that Legoshi attempts to eat her alive. In spite of this, however, she has a good heart and later regrets her accusations towards Legoshi.
