Changes

A Mawloc is almost entirely blind, and relies on a series of pressure-sensitive organs that run the length of its flank, which provide the Mawloc with a many-layered and ever-changing picture of the world around it. A Mawloc's senses are so delicate that it can absorb and interpret pressure waves as they travel through both solid and liquid matter. They are able to detect even the slightest tremor, and intercept their quarry with unerring speed and accuracy. Added together, this allows a Mawloc to home in on its prey even whilst burrowing through ground. The more regular and rhythmic the sound, for example, the pounding thump of a terrified heart, the more likely a Mawloc will be able to orientate into emerging precisely beneath its prey. Thus it is a victim's fear that dooms them.{{Fn|1}}

{{Endn|*}}According to the [[Ordo Xenos]], this is a flight of fancy; anything unlucky enough to be swallowed whole by a Mawloc would either be crushed to death by the contractions of its gullet or suffocate within a few minutes - which, as [[Inquisitor]] [[Amberley Vail]] admitted, ''"isn't all that comforting."''{{Fn|2}}
