Changes

[[death world]] of [[Mahir]]. The Mahir Leaper is believed to be derived from Gaunt specimens that arrived on the planet in mycetic spores or even possibly aboard a crashed ship.{{Fn|1}}

The creatures have adapted to local conditions by becoming smaller and more agile, compensating for their lessened strength with increased numbers and a hardened carapace. A hunting pack of Mahir Leapers can be up to sixty strong and well able to take down the largest prey. The [[Xenos Bestiarium]], on [[Watch Fortress]] [[Erioch]], maintains a substantial breeding stock of Mahir Leapers for use in the [[Hunting Grounds]]. [[Battle-Brothers]] find that the fast moving, hard-shelled leapers make for excellent target practice.{{Fn|1}}
