➔ Present Perfect (Omitted Auxiliary) + Pronoun "one"

➔ "Be out here" + Present Participle (Current Action/Situation)

➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 0/1) + Informal Present Participle

I don't wanna see no beast die
➔ Double Negative for Emphasis (Informal) + Verb of Perception + Object + Base Form Verb

""Wanna"" is an informal contraction of "want to". Additionally, verbs of perception like ""see"" can be followed by an object ("no beast") and a base form verb ("die") to describe an action that is being perceived.
