Some survivors claim the creature is the size of a Ravener, while others swear it is closer to the monstrous size of a [[Trygon]] or [[Mawloc]].{{Fn|1b}} ===History=======Devlan====It is only recorded as being encountered once by the [[Imperium]], during the Tyranid invasion of [[Devlan]], an Imperial [[mining world]] on the [[Eastern Fringe]].{{Fn|1b}} It tore into a star port compound to get to its defenders, killing twenty-four men before being driven away. Each time it returned it slaughtered more humans before retreating back into the tunnel, devouring the rendered human remains. Eventually a search and destroy team was sent into the tunnels, only to meet their doom at the scythes of the Red Terror.{{Fn|3}} ====Adri's Hope====What became of the Red Terror after Devlan is unknown, though one ship fleeing from Devlan made an automated landing on [[Adri's Hope]] and stayed ominously dark and silent after landing. The ship was investigated and found to be a blood-drenched abattoir. A Tyranid creature was suspected to have gotten aboard, though nothing was found within the ship. Three weeks later, Adri's Hope itself had also become a blood-soaked ruin. It is unclear if this beast of Devlan is the Red Terror.{{Fn|1a}} ===Images===<bgallery mode="packed" heights="200">40k-83-the-red-terror.jpg|The Red Terror{{Fn|5}}</bgallery> is a mutation of ====Miniatures====<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">990600106035 Tyranid Red Terror.jpg|Original Pewter Red Terror construction{{Fn|3}}Red Terror model.jpg|Finecast Resin Red Terror{{Fn|4}}RedTerrorKT.jpg|The Red Terror miniature for ''[[Kill Team: Terror on Devlan]]''{{Fn|6}}</gallery> ===Sources===*1: [[Codex: Tyranids (5th Edition)]]:**{{Endn|1a}}: pg. 22**{{Endn|1b}}: pg. 37*{{Endn|2}}: [[Codex: Tyranids (3rd Edition)]], 33*{{Endn|3}}: [[Citadel Bitz & Collectors]], pg. 31*{{Endn|4}}: [https://web.archive.org/web/20231119093126/https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/tyranids-the-red-terror-mto-2023 Warhammer Webstore : The Red Terror MTO] ''(saved archive, last accessed 19 November 2023)''*{{Endn|5}}: [[Magic: The Gathering's Universes Beyond Warhammer 40,000]]
