Such is the might of a Haruspex that it can devour an entire platoon of enemy soldiers in mere moments, while also dispatching tanks and fortifications with ease.{{Fn|4}} The Haruspex is also equipped with four [[Crushing Claws]] and a set of chimneys that moderate the intense heat that builds up as the monster devours victims.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
