==Overview==
Unknown by the greater [[Imperium]], Lernaean Terminators rarely left behind any evidence or witnesses of their deeds and few know of their existence. Clad in [[Cataphractii Pattern]] [[Terminator Armour]], they were armed with [[Volkite Charger]]s which made them fierce opponents in close combat. Clad in the [[Cataphractii]] [[Terminator Armour]] and armed with [[Volkite]] Charges and [[Power axe]]s they are a fearsome assault force not too many enemies can stand against. The leader of the squad is called the "[[Harrower]]" and the squad usually deploys via [[Land Raider Proteus]] or [[Land Raider Phobos]] but can also be deployed via [[Dreadclaw]] [[Drop Pod]] or [[Spartan Assault Tank]].{{Fn|1}} In battle, they advanced relentlessly upon the foe, descending with controlled fury and slaying any enemy they encountered. Having secured their objective, they stubbornly held against any counterattacks. The Lernaeans were known as the jaws of the Hydra, the bestial symbol of the Alpha Legion itself.{{Fn|1}}
During the [[Battle of the Alaxxes Nebula]], Alpharius disguised himself as one of his own Lernaean bodyguards to confound the [[Space Wolves]].{{Fn|3}}
