===Hive Fleet Behemoth===
Behemoth's invasion of Calth was spearheaded by [[Old One Eye]], an unique [[Carnifex]] with the ability to heal from mortal wounds. Its rampage was finally stopped when a forgotten hero of the [[Imperium]] fired a [[Plasma Pistol]] through its eye and into its brain. Decades after Behemoth had been driven from Calth, a band of smugglers stumbled across Old One Eye's body frozen intact in the ice-packs of Calth. They thawed it out hoping to get a bounty for the corpse, but Old One Eye's grievous wounds instantly began to heal. It soon awoke and slaughtered the smugglers. A series of Tyranid raids followed. Land conveys were destroyed, hab-domes smashed and entire populations massacred. Lesser Tyranid creatures such as [[Termagant]]s and [[Genestealer]]s, also left behind from Behemoth's invasion, were drawn to Old One Eye's presence as a dominant leader. The people of Calth cried out for aid, and they were answered by Scout Sergeant [[Telion]] of the [[Ultramarines]]. Telion tracked down Old One Eye, but found it difficult to pierce its armoured flanks. As Telion's warriors were cut to pieces by the beast, Telion made a one-in-a-million shot that hit its ruined eye-socket. Old One Eye was overcome with pain and stumbled into a cavernous ravine. Telion led a search for the body, but Old One Eye was never found. There have since been several reports of Carnifexes matching its description causing havok across Ultramar and beyond.<sup>1</sup>
