Godbeasts are gigantic monsters from the Age of Sigmar setting. These colossal beasts are typically the progenitors of the various breeds of monsters that plague the mortal realms. Most of them died in the Age of Myth, being slain by Sigmar, Nagash or Gorkamorka, but several of them have survived into the Age of Sigmar, some of which have even fallen to Chaos.

Notable Godbeasts

Behemat

The Father of Gargants. His story begins with Ymnog, the Grandfather of Gargants. Inside his stomach was born Behemat, who brewed a lake of moonshine in his father's guts, causing him to retch him into his mouth, where Behemat then broke his father’s teeth to escape. Behemat landed in Ghyran and became the progenitor of the gargant race. Countless deeds are attributed to Behemat by other Gargants, such as “creating“ the stunted duardin race by stomping on mankind, or eating all the meat off of the denizens of Shyish, causing their gaunt and ghastly appearance. It is said the gargants were created from his vomit after he went on a binge-eating spree that caused the extinction of several species of cattle. Exhausted by this act, he lied down and took a millenia-long nap in the region known as the Harmonis Veldt. While he was asleep, his body would become covered by earth; his skull becoming the mountain of Tor Crania, his mouth becoming the Titansmawr (from which more gargants would occasionally crawl out), the Sweatswamp forming around the location of his left armpit, and so on. Archaon planned to corrupt him to Chaos, forcing the Stormcast Eternals to kill him. His wayward offspring, the Gargants, have begun forming together into various tribes known collectively as the Sons of Behemat.

Dracothion

Progenitor of the Stardrakes and Dracoths, the star-dragon Dracothion is one of the closest allies of the Pantheon of Order, being the one who guided both Sigmar and the Seraphon to the Mortal Realms.

Skalok the Skull Host of Khorne

The only godbeast with an actual (albeit Forge World) tabletop model, Skalok was a mighty dragon slain by the Khornate lord Vorgaroth the Scarred. Impressed by Skalok's might, Khorne resurrected her as his servant and forced her to work together with Vorgaroth by cursing them so that if one was ever slain, the other will be destroyed by Khorne's fury as well.

The Spider God

An arachnid godbeast worshipped by the Spiderfang Grot tribes. Believed to have been an ordinary spider that bit Gorkamorka on the foot and absorbed his power.

Vulcatrix

The Ur-Salamander and mother of the Magmadroths, Vulcatrix died in battle against the Duardin god Grimnir.
