The Claw Demon, also known as the Donorian Claw Demon, originated from the Donorian Star System.
The body of a claw demon is a fusion of the most extreme hunter elements in nature. It can use muscles and claws to move at incredible speeds. The tips of its claws are made of curved chitin, each of which is almost As sharp as a single molecule blade.
??Equally outstanding are its senses. No matter what the environment, the claw demon's multiple eyes can see multiple spectrums, and its huge ears can pick up the smallest sounds.
Even without considering its outstanding senses, the claw devil's fighting ability is very outstanding. This creature can fight its way through large beasts, kill creatures much larger than itself, and even kill those wearing the best armor. opponent.
There are even rumors that, given enough time, the Claw Demon can punch through the bulkheads of a ship.
It is a widely known fact that the creature can detach an adult's head from its shoulders with a simple swipe.
If a normal claw demon is the top predator, then an injured claw demon is the most terrifying killing machine. Although the exact reason is unknown, there is a behavioral pattern of the claw demon that has been confirmed. That is, when a clawed demon is injured, it will enter a more furious state.
Some alien researchers believe that this is just a physiological response of an organism to protect itself from attack after being injured, but most people do not accept this theory because few other organisms can display this kind of self-defense behavior to this extent. To a certain extent, another theory is that when a claw demon enters a state of hyper-alertness due to injury, it will release a large amount of endorphins, adrenaline and other chemicals into the body's circulation, activating this terrifying mode of massacre.
Some studies of its recovered corpses speculate that the creature is actually irritated by the smell of its own blood, which contains a series of pheromones that can irritate itself.
As for why this kind of creature runs everywhere, it has been a mystery for a long time, so various theories have been generated. For example, this kind of creature is transported to animal cages all over the sector. In the process, it happens to be forgotten on various worlds, or it may be that someone can use it to pacify the target planet - use it to kill any native threats, whether they come from intelligent creatures or beasts.
The most widely known thing about the clawed devil is that it plays a very definite role in ecology. This creature will quickly climb to the position of apex predator wherever it is. It will eat anything when hungry, and it will kill or destroy anything that dares to come between it and its chosen prey.
It wasn't until the Black Templars launched an expedition against the Donorian Sector that the truth was revealed——
The Claw Demons were originally beasts raised by Dark Eldar trainers. They often followed their masters in and out of the Webway, but their main habitat was the entrance to the Webway in the Donorian system, serving as guardians.
But a long time ago, the main gate of the Donorian System's Webway was shattered under the pressure of a warp storm. After that, its scattered passages were filled with claw demons, and some claw demons came through the Webway. Arrived in other star regions.
Therefore, the Claw Demon later became associated with the notorious Dark Eldar, and it was no wonder Talos was so nervous.
"Could it be wild?"
If it were in other worlds, Soshyan had reason to suspect that there might be Dark Eldar nearby, but this was an imperial industrial world thousands of meters underground.
Talos shook his head, squatted down, touched the beast's neck, and then suddenly pulled out a string of dark purple lymph with a strong force.
"Valiel has studied this creature, and he found that the captive claw demons usually have a unique gland, which allows them to receive pheromones unique to the Dark Eldar and thereby control them. This gland The body type can be inherited, but not in wild populations."
"Is there really a Dark Eldar here? What a coincidence, isn't it?"
"I can't tell, just keep walking, just be more careful."
Afterwards, Soshyan asked everyone to pay more attention and walked towards the predetermined direction, which was the depth of the canyon.
When we get to the bottom of the valley, a vague trail appears between the stone pillars, but the fog is also very thick here.
As they walked in, they discovered more ruins, destroyed vaulted roofs like broken skulls, moss-covered rubble and debris scattered for miles, submerged in a sea of boiling fog that merged into the distant gray horizon. .
Everyone was shrouded in this suffocating fog. Looking up, there were some huge fragmented sculptures scattered everywhere.
"It's an alien statue."
Even without Talos' explanation, Soshyan could tell that those statues with slender heads and pointed ears were definitely not human beings.
It can only be said that the Eldar are disgusting!
The statues of the Eldar gods stared silently at something, slowly swallowed by the darkness, and Soshyan looked around, seeing fragments of faith struggling in a slow, desperate struggle against nature.
"There shouldn't be a webway entrance here, right?"
With this thought in mind, they moved on and saw the remains of some monumental ramparts that had long ago surrounded this place, part of which had collapsed and disappeared into the misty gorge.
He suddenly wanted to see what else was inside, and felt that something was boiling in the air, like the feeling before the rain.
Is this just a trick of the wind? Or climate or air pressure?
"It seems that there was indeed a webway entrance here before."
Talos pointed to a pile of collapsed ruins in the distance. He could vaguely see that it was a broken arch, and there were still weird symbols and words on the ruins.
"But it's been destroyed, you can rest assured."
"This is not reassuring. Haven't you discovered more and more secrets here?"
As he was talking, Soshyan suddenly saw a soldier throwing something at a row of collapsed masonry in front of him.
"That is--"
It was a grenade, and when it hit the ground and exploded, there was a boom of rubble and a cloud of smoke as a screaming thing jumped out of the shadows, as if the explosion had released them from the ground.
"Enemy attack!"
Soshyan immediately responded to their presence with a deafening, tempestuous barrage of bolters, and Talos's bolters opened fire, unleashing fury upon the snarling humanoids that leapt at them from the mist.
The muzzle flash left an eerie shadow on the ruins, and one of the furry giants rushed in. A blaster wiped off its shoulder and threw its right arm back into the fog.
The horrific wound did nothing to slow it down. When it collided with the soldier who had thrown the grenade before, it knocked him to the ground.
Then they fought like wild beasts.
More claw demons appear!
