'''"We've run into scorpions the size of battle tanks. Three men died from Eyerot last week and I've sweated enough to fill a lake. Emperor help me, I love this place -- it's just like home!" — Captain Rock of the Catachan III "Green Devils," commenting on [[Varestus Prime]]

The '''Catachan Jungle Fighters''' also known as '''"Baby Ogryns"''' due to their slabs of muscle, are the fearsome [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s from [[Catachan]], the most notorious [[Death World]] in the [[Imperium]]. Because of this, Catachans have a well-deserved reputation as the deadliest jungle-warfare experts in the galaxy. Extremely resourceful and uncompromising warriors, they are skilled up close with their specialised and brutal [[Catachan Knives|close combat blades]] or from ambush with their [[lasgun]]s. In jungle terrain they are unsurpassed, with each Catachan being worth ten of any other regiment. Their ranks include some of the deadliest men in the Imperium, including the legendary "One Man Army" [[Sly Marbo]] and "Stonetooth" [[Harker]], a man who's endurance and strength could rival a [[Space Marine]]{{Fn|1f}}.
