Great Knarlocs are considered as relic units in [[Dawn of War]]. For some reason, Great Knarlocs are able to chow down almost every other races relic units save for the Imperial [[Baneblade]] (Which will blast the Great Knarlocs into a crater), Necron [[C'tan|C'tan Gods]] and the [[Daemon Prince]]. [[What|Not even]] [[Bloodthirsters]] [[Fail|can fight off a giant turkey,]] but only if you buy an upgrade that boosts the Knarloc's health, otherwise the Bloodthrister will beat it. Some players often bring a [[Squiggoth]] to battle the Great Knarloc to reenact some sort of Jurassic Park scene. Suffice to say, the Great Knarloc wins most of the time despite the fact that in actuality, the Great Knarloc should lose against the rampaging overgrown fungus and should run back screaming, due to you know, the bigger they are in nature the more intimidating. Seriously a Squiggoth, even a lesser one, outweighs the Great Knarloc by several orders of magnitude, combine that with ridiculous toughness, more aggressive temperament and tougher muscles and you get a beaten and half-eaten KFC. *sigh* More case of <s>GW</s> Relic's [[Fail]] in simple <s>biology</s> balancing.

That said, the Great Knarloc is still regarded as one of the least useful Relic units in the game. It might have the highest melee damage, but it's lacking health compared to other melee Relic units. While one of the Tau structures does give access to upgrade to bring its help up to the level of the Squiggoth, that building competes with one that allows the player to built the much more useful Hammerhead Gunships. To top it all off, the Great Knarloc is rather slow and fighting units in melee is all it can do. The Bloodthirster can fly and get to a fight more quickly, or be summoned right into a battle, the Squiggoth can shoot and transport units, and the Avatar increases Eldar population. The latter two also have far more health than the Greater Knarloc can ever have.
