Beastie is far older than FreeBSD; the idea of a daemon as a mascot for Unix predates even the CSRG BSD. Phil Foglio drew the first version in 1976. John Lasseter first drew what we currently know as Beastie for a book cover in 1984; he drew a second version for the 4.3BSD book in 1988 and a third for the 4.4BSD book in 1994. The 1988 version is the most widely used today.
