separating Known Sightings section, and adding Keorn Asata Ultramarines Ambull hunts
Due to the intense heat of Luther McIntyre's sun, the Ambull's subterranean lifestyle is shared with many of the death world's inhabitants, including the Ambull's favorite food, the [[Crawler]]. Ambulls will pursue prey through soft rock by tunneling at considerable speed.{{Fn|1}}
Ambull larvae are called '''Borewyrms'''. They are carnivorous and in a swarm are no less dangerous than adult Ambulls.{{Fn|3}}
==Known sightings==
Ambulls were sighted on the [[Ice World]] [[Simia Orichalcae]] while the [[Valhallan 597th]] were protecting a valuable [[promethium]] refinery. It was later speculated that they had arrived through a warp portal opened from some unknown desert world by a [[Necron]] scouting force that deployed to Simia Orichalcae. These rogue ambulls killed several promethium miners in the lower tunnels, while [[Commissar]] [[Ciaphas Cain]] and a Valhallan scouting party slew a great number of the beasts in the tunnels. It was noted that they could tunnel through ice as easily as sand or rock, and were remarkably survivable away from their normal desert environment.{{Fn|2b}}
After the Simia Orichalcae campaign, Cain dined with [[Inquisitor]] [[Amberley Vail]] at an upscale hotel, which offered ambull steak on its room-service menu{{Fn|2c}}. [[Logash]], a [[Tech Priest]], had earlier told Cain's aide [[Ferik Jurgen]] that ambull meat tasted much like [[grox]].{{Fn|2a}}
