===Doom of Malan'tai===
The '''Doom of Malan'tai''' is a Zoanthrope with a unique adaptation consisting of a large, spine-like growth emerging from its back and extending over its skull to resemble a hood. This alteration seemingly enhances its psychic powers giving it the ability to feed not upon flesh and blood but upon the very life-force and psychic energy of its victims.<sup>4a</sup>
Following the destruction of [[Hive Fleet]] [[Naga]] by the [[Eldar]], a lone and wounded [[Bio-ship]] launched its last [[Mycetic Spores]] into the [[Craftworld]] of [[Malan'tai]]. Thus, where the creature takes its name. The Eldar of the Craftworld set about hunting the scattered creatures, but in the process of killing those that posed the greatest threat they ignored the Doom of Malan'tai. Left undisturbed, it fed on the spirits of the Craftworld's [[Infinity Circuit]], and enhanced to an unstoppable level with this new power, The Doom of Malan'tai went on to reduce the entire Craftworld to a lifeless shell.<sup>4a</sup>
