→Name and Appearance
In transmissions intercepted by the Imperial military, the warboss referred to himself in [[Orkish]] terms that defied exact translation into [[High Gothic]], but roughly equivalent to ''"beast"'', ''"I am slaughter"'', or ''"lord who will bring great slaughter."''{{Fn|2b}}
The Beast-class Prime Orks were perhaps the largest Ork [[Warboss]] es ever encountered, which in Ork society denoted his power, prestige, and lethality. Said to be the size of a hab-block, The Beast made even [[Nob]]s appear as mere children in his presence and his mouth was filled with tusks the size of tree trunks.{{Fn|2a}} When one was finally was encountered on [[Ullanor]], The Beast was at first thought to be a ten-meter high statue. However when the statue moved, the Imperial invaders realized he was in fact a massive Ork encased inside battle armor.{{Fn|6}}
Another one of the "Prime Orks" encountered by Imperial forces of Ullanor was said to be the size of a small [[Gargant]]. A single arm of his massive battle armour was equipped with two [[Battle Cannon]]s as well as [[Autocannon]]s, [[Missile Launcher]]s, [[Flamer]]s, and other weapons. His other arm wielded a Vibro-Mace as tall as a Space Marine.{{Fn|8}}
