| | #REDIRECT [[Lamassu]] |
| [[File:Lamassu art.jpg|300px|right|thumb|GeeDubs' more trademark friendly appropriation of a Mesopotamian monster.]] | |
| In [[Warhammer Fantasy Battles]], one of the mount options for [[Chaos Dwarf]] sorcerers is the <s>Lamassu</s> intentionally-misspelt Lammasu<sup>TM</sup>, which is a magic-eating monster depicted as a winged bull/lion thing with the head of a chaos dwarf of [[Lamassu|Sumerian fame]]. Lammasu also appeared as one of the bindable monsters in Storm of Magic.

| ==Overview==
| |
| So what are these guys specifically in Warhammer Fantasy? Well, think of them as the equivalent of one of the Chaos Beasts under [[Hashut]]. A Lammasu in a sense is thought to be a rare and interesting mutation of the [[Great Taurus|Great Tauri]], which is the ''other'' Chaos Beast under Hashut.
| |
| | |
| In contrast to Hashut's stereotype of his pyrophilia and [[Furry|bull-fetish bestiality]], the Lammasu is not consumed by fiery rage but rather, it is a manifestation of sorcerous intelligence. Though not as powerful as its cousin in full-on CQC testosterone fights, the Lammasu is able to employ magic instead, launching fireballs at the enemy, transporting allies on shadowy mounts in a blink or simply letting death creep through enemy ranks. Therefore, think of the Lammasu as the [[Tzeentch]] to the [[Great Taurus]]' [[Khorne]].
| |
| | |
| They are also blessed with an uncanny, insidious charisma that can befuddle enemies akin to real-world [[Sphinx|Sphinxes.]]
| |
| | |
| While it takes a great amount of power to summon one, the wizards who invest it will not be disappointed, which is why many Chaos Dwarf sorcerers of a sufficient rank use them as their mounts.
