The '''Catachan Jungle Fighters''' sometimes referred to as '''"Baby Ogryns"''' due to their thick 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]].{{Fn|1f}}{{Fn|9}}{{Fn|19}}

Back on their home world, Catachans maintain strong tribal traditions and structures, and this carries over to the regiments drawn from the death world. Whereas the tribe would elect a headman, the regiment would elect its own captains, sergeants and other ranking officers and entire regiments could be drawn from small geographical areas. It is not uncommon for many squads to be made up of men related to each other. Cousin fighting alongside cousin, brother alongside brother and quite often serve under an uncle or, in rare circumstances, a grandfather. These close-knit structures have resulted in levels of trust and teamwork that are virtually unparalleled within the Imperial Guard.{{Fn|27}}
