This article is about the the M32 Ork Warboss; for the Warboss also known as 'The Beast of Armageddon', see Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. |
The Beast was one of the most powerful Ork Warbosses to have ever lived. In 544.M32 he united much of the Ork race and nearly succeeded in conquering the Galaxy.[1b] His Waaagh! was the largest the Galaxy has ever seen and rampaged across the Imperium, eclipsing even the one Horus defeated during the Ullanor Crusade which earned him the title of Warmaster. The Imperium only halted his advance at great cost and desperate measure, devastating the Adeptus Astartes.[1a]
Contents
Appearance
The Beast was perhaps the largest Ork Warboss ever encountered, which in Ork society denoted his power, prestige, and lethality. Said to be the size of a hab-block, The Beast made even Nobs appear as mere children in his presence and his mouth was filled with tusks the size of tree trunks.[2]
History
The Beast first appeared at the head of an unprecedentedly massive Waaagh! in Segmentum Solar. After destroying the world of Ardamantua and nearly the entire Imperial Fists Chapter with his Attack Moon.[2a] After the destruction of Ardamantua, the Beast initiated his great push across Segmentum Solar, killing billions of Imperials and overrunning entire Sectors. The Beasts Waaagh! field was so powerful that it influenced the Orks under his control to grow far larger and become even more aggressive than usual.[3]
Despite losing an Attack Moon during the Battle for Port Sanctus, the Beast was able to successfully position another directly over Terra.[4] As the galaxy burned, Imperial forces sought out the Beasts homeworld, which was believed to be Ullanor.[5]
