===Charonite Claws===

The [[Heresy|Semi-Heretical]] weapons of [[Xenos]] origin dating back during the [[Age of Strife]].

The [[Ogryn#Ogryn Charonites|Ogryn Charonites]] derive their name from their powerful main weapon, the Charonite Claws. These were heavily constructed servo-claws and matched augmentic implants designed to amplify and take advantage of an Ogryn's already formidable strength and physical stature. Charonite Claws needed to be surgically implanted, which meant that an Ogryn needed to have both his hands and forearms amputated in order to use them.

Charonite Claws emerged in the early days of the [[Great Crusade]] as powerful weapons intended for use in the murderous confines of shipboard combat. Armed in this way, an Ogryn could crush flesh, and even bulkheads, and rip through armour and ceramite plate with ease. If an Ogryn Charonite could gain purchase with both his claws, they were designed to retract apart from each other with flesh-rending force, savagely dismembering their victims.

It can be safe to assume that these weapons have been mothballed or destroyed by the AdMech ever since the [[Horus Heresy]].
