The '''Catachan Devil''' is a creature native to the [[Death World]] [[Catachan]], but has been introduced into several other worlds. They Devils are scorpion-like in appearance , with a series of segmented body sections and carrying pairs of legs terminating and a terminus in a long tail with a poisonous barb, which curves forward over the creature's back. As Catachan Devils grow , they develop more and more mid-sections and pairs of legs. A fully grown adult can have up to thirty sets of legs, reaching and can reach up to thirty metres meters in length, reaching the size of a land train.<sup>3</sup>
The front legs of older male Devils become grossly enlarged, resembling scorpion claws. These mighty beasts are often dubbed 'Fiddlers' in Catachan slang, and are quite rightly feared for it's their ferocity and raw power.
They are able to move with surprising speed for something of it's their size, being superbly adapted to move across a large variety of terrain. Once capturing it's unfortunate a victim, it the Devil will either shred it with razor claws or stung , alternatively, will sting into insensibility by with barbs located around the its maw, before finally being . The victim will then be consumed.
Catachan Devils are territorial, yet quite sociable creatures, tending to form into nesting groups. These groups often contain several large Devils, as well as a few dozen or so of 'Devilspawn'(younger Devils). The entire nest will come together to defend their territory from any intruders, be it rival Devils, colonists, or other predators, and they have even been known to attack [[Imperial Guard]] Tank [[Imperial Guard Company|Companies]].<sup>4</sup>
It is also rumoured that they Devils are the descendants of a long-lost [[Tyranid]] Vanguard organism that has effectively become feral.
