*Carnifex Vorantii — Commonly called the “[[Thornback]],” these creatures are living batteries of symbiote weaponry equipped with short- to medium-range ballistic parasites and living bomb projectorssuch as [[Deathspitter]]s, [[Devourer]]s, [[Stranglethorn Cannon]]s, and [[Spine Bank]]s{{Fn|13}}. Several of the intimidating-looking thorns on this subspecies are in fact sensory organs for sniffing out prey. They are infantry hunters that seem to take pleasure in rooting out hiding men. Despite its lack of specialized melee limbs the Thornback is extremely dangerous at close quarters, where its speed and bulk allow it to easily impale incautious enemies.{{Fn|4b}}

*'''Carnifex Arbylis''', a sub-classification of extreme Carnifex variants that meld both pairs of upper limbs into complex ranged weapon symbiotessuch as twin [[Venom Cannon]]s. {{Fn|2c}} Most common of these is the "Venomspitter" Carnifex, a beast capable of launching hyper-velocity crystalline shards of pure poison that can knock out a tank or easily kill a warrior in [[power armour]]. Carnifex Arbylis generally have improved ocular acuity and excellent depth perception from multiple eyes, although specimens employing a kind of stereoscopic echo-location have also been found on night worlds.{{Fn|4b}}
