{{whfb-stub}}{{AoS-Stub}} [[File:The_only_ghorgon_art_I_swear.png|300px|thumb|right|The last thing you want to see in the Drakwald forest]] '''Ghorgons''' are a mutated version of a [[minotaur]] in the [[Warhammer Fantasy]] world, created as a result of minotaurs cannibalizing each other. This triggers a mutation that warps the cannibal into a giant-sized monstrosity with a second pair of arms tipped with bony blades, whilst also cursing them with an insatiable hunger for flesh. Ghorgons can devour entire tribes of beastmen in a single feeding frenzy, and are some of the most feared predators of the Old Worlds forests as a result. == What Are Ghorgons? == Ghorgons are believed to start off as a Minotaur (or some strain of Bullgor for [[Age of Sigmar|AoS]]), usually the largest of their herd and with a scaled up [[Bloodgreed]] to boot. This bloodgreed causes them to eat even when they aren't hungry out of an uncontrollable desire to [[Rape| desecrate the bodies of their foes]]. This goes to the point of cannibalism where they start eating weaker members of their tribe as well as chaos-tainted flesh. This consumption is what causes them to mutate into a Ghorgon as the chaos taint causes them to physically change as well as all the meat they consume causing them to grow large to begin with (in other words they are here to [[Tyranids|NOM]]). Talented [[Bray Shaman|Bray-Shamans]] can control or at least influence the actions of the Ghorgon as traditional methods of control will not work with them as they are too big and strong to be physically compelled. When in battle they will [[RIP AND TEAR]] with their arm blades and use their hands to eat what they kill and they are never satisfied (Basically [[Throt the Unclean]] but with cowbell and 10 feet taller). They are essentially the beastmen equivalent of giants or gargants but with bovine features and four arms. == Named Ghorgons == In Age of Sigmar there are 2 named Ghorgons. *'''Vorhargh'''- Ghorgon of the vilehorns beastherd, he's said to be a particularly nasty ghorgon and from [[Ghur]], which doesn't help things. *'''Daesek's Bane'''- Ghorgon of the vilehorns beastherd known for killing some aelven hero named Daesek. {{Template:Beastmen_Forces}} == Gallery == <gallery> The_only_ghorgon_art_I_swear.png| The only art specifically of a ghorgon.
