Clawed Fiend

Somehow the weirdest part of this creature is its six nipples...

Clawed Fiends are one of the many critters the Dark Eldar use as both pets and war beasts. In the case of the Clawed Fiend, it is big. Claw Fiends are essentially large masses of muscle that have been known to somehow rip apart the bulkheads of spaceships whose walls are thicker than the Beasts themselves! Each of the claws are larger than an Ork’s finger and almost as sharp as a monofilament blade. They look like a cross between a gorilla and a giant bat; if anything, Clawed Fiends look similar to the Vampire Counts Varghulfs of Fantasy but without the wings.

As mentioned, the head of a Claw Fiend resembles a bat. However its six eyes enhances the creatures senses, as it can see in several different light spectrums and its large ears can pick up the slightest of sounds no matter its environment. If the Clawed Fiend is injured, it enters a state of Rage so potent it boggles the mind on why Khorne haven't decided to choose those over his own beasts of war.

Clawed Fiends are made use of by the Dark Eldar, as long ago the Webway Portal leading into the Donorian system was destroyed by the force of a Warp Storm, splitting the portal apart and allowing Clawed Fiends to enter and infest the adjacent Webway tunnels. Since then they have become one of the main creatures used by Beastmasters, who capture them for bloody hunts in the gladiatorial Wych arenas of Commorragh or for use as war-beasts in Real Space raids.
