Carnifexes are not very intelligent and in fact have little self-awareness. They will revert to unthinking rampages of destruction if not constantly supervised and guided by the [[Hive Mind]].¹ The [[Imperium]]'s first recorded encounters with the Carnifex was in the battles against [[Hive Fleet]] [[Behemoth]] that lead up to the [[Battle for Macragge]]. As the Imperium tried to stop the Tyranids in space, Carnifexes were at the head of every boarding action. The strain of Carnifexes encountered became known as "Screamer Killers" because of their terrible ululating shriek that accompanied their ability to discharge balls of [[Bio-plasma]], generated within their bodies and vomited forth as blinding balls of energy.¹ The Carnifex genus actually comprises many species displaying a wide variety of symbiotic weaponry.² [[Old One Eye ]] is armed a unique Carnifex with a pair of huge, crab-like claws capable of ripping even the hardest foe ability to piecesregenerate itself from mortal wounds.
