	The Thing from Below is yet another kind of Bio-form engineered by the elusive [[Hive Fleet Draugr]] that since its first appearance has found use in the arsenal of many more Hive Fleets, especially the [[Hive Fleet Jormungandr\|Jormungandr]]'s. To the Ordo Xenos this creature seems to be a mutated version of the common ripper, although the size and the diamond-tipped teeth make it more inclined to vehicle hunting. There is always another Bio-form following it, some kind of parasite that seems to produce and control a conspicuous number of electric bugs ~~that~~ are passed onto the prey by the assault of the bigger beast. These critters are extremely dangerous and can turn out letal as the electric charge they produce is highly damaging to both vehicles equipments and the human nervous system.
