Hive Scum, or Scummers, are masterless or itinerant Imperial Hivers who will fight for anyone who offers them coin. They are the most generic hired gun and neutrals one can find across the street; so long as the pay is right.
==Overview==
Some are mercenaries who travel from zone to zone, earning whatever easy money is around before moving on. Many though are drunkards and down-and-outs who, despite their appearances, are more than capable of holding their own in a fight. Regardless of their background, Hive Scum are too wild and independent to submit to the leadership of anyone for very long and will only work when they feel like it — as their services are always in demand.

In the Underhive of [[Necromunda]], most Hive Scum end up working for the Merchant Guilds, though a few are always willing to aid one the Hive World's numerous gangs. They are especially valuable to newly created gangs, who hire Hive Scum to supplement their low numbers or inexperienced gang members. For the more established gangs, however, Hive Scum are either seen as not worth hiring or nothing more than cannon fodder to use against the gang's enemies.

As they are often a rag-tagged bunch of misfits. Hive Scum aren't the most well-equipped. Typically, common weapons include [[Stub Gun]]s, [[Stub Rifle]]s, [[Autopistol]]s, [[Autogun]]s, [[Lasgun]]s, [[Sawn-Off Shotgun]]s, [[Pump-Action Shotgun]]s, [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Flail|Flails]], [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Axe|Axes]], [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Combat Knife|Combat Knives]], [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Maul|Mauls]], and [[Chainsword]]s.

==Crunch==
On Necromunda, Hive Scummers can usually be found in a Merchant Guild and Iron Guild. In a Merchant Guild, there is always at least two free Hive Scums for hire, although if you want more, it is best to go to the Iron Guild which offers d3+2 Hive Scum for the battle. They are completely free, so it’s not the worst thing in the world, since each one comes equipped with up to 60 credits worth of gear of the player’s choice. Use them to fill in the gaps of your own gang’s firebase, send them off on a special flanking mission, or just run them straight forward as cannon fodder.

His life was quite different before however, as Mono was born into the Longshore clans, who live short brutal lives on Necromunda's surface.

	Growing up on the edges of the Palatine Cluster Hives, also compounded his low status as their distant spires taunted Mono with the promise of safety and wealth. His fate suddenly changed though, when a Scavvy trader sold him a strange one-eyed hood, which turned out to be an ancient Strato-Pilot helmet. When he put it on, Mono discovered the helmet's oculus-augur gave him a unique view of the world and amazing physical reactions as a result.

	He soon found a new path in life while wearing it, after he carved up a bar full of druken mag-line dusters with his grab-hook and in the fight's bloody aftermath, he realized that he had a talent for mayhem. Mono then put the world out that he was looking for "extra work" and quickly made a name for himself, by bringing down Three-toes Jack, during the Rustfalls Uprising, and running with the Sump City Sirens, during their takeover of the Delta Zone Dust Wells. Despite his success though, Mono always returns to Port Mad Dog, for as the Longshore clanners always say - "blood is thicker than ash".
