'''Void Whales''' are gargantuan warp-spawned entities nearly twelve thousand miles long which maintain their own ecosystems and are home to various other creatures. Void Whales swim across the blackness of space, sometimes also navigating the unnatural tides of the [[Warp]]. Void Whales are large enough to maintain ecosystems of parasitic creatures including the bipedal piscene [[Remora]] and the wormlike [[Cruevar]].{{Fn|1}} Void Whales corpses are valued by the [[Leagues of Votann]] as mining sites, and can maintain multi-year digs.{{Fn|3a}}
* In 877.[[M41]], a hideously mutated Void Whale emerged from the [[Warp Gate]] of '''Sloth''' and was destroyed by a boarding party of [[Space Wolves]] led by [[Engir Krakendoom]] before it could devour the astral stronghold of [[Perillia]]. Battling their way through the frond-forests and gill-chasms of bipedal vampiric [[Remora (Warp)|Remora]], Engir and his Wolves planted thermal charges deep within the creature's vital organs and escaped before it exploded. The [[Perillian Gas Belt]] was born from its remains.{{Fn|1}}
