Think about it. For Satan to get you to do bad things he/she would have to be the best looking, sexiest most charming person you ever met.
Ted Bundy was good looking and charming. Beware the good lookers

Satan is a myth created by early Christianity and physically based on an early pagan God of the forest and hunting called Cernunus. It was created to one, control the masses and two to dispel and create fear in the pagan Gods that were around and worshiped at that time.
So no, Satan/The Devil can't change from beast to handsome because in truth it doesn't exist.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Satan is the most powerful creation of God's other than Himself. He was the mack-daddy of angels. You think he looked like a beast?

Satan is known through the ages under many names. Just like how a criminal uses aliases. Coincidence? I don't think so. I don't think handsome is one of the names though. Must be the demon Lust you saw... =D

2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
