Before battle, [[Thousand Sons]] [[sorcerers]] often harness the creatures with a giant pointed star made of fire from the top of the [[Tower of the Cyclops]]. The burning [[Icon of Chaos]] that is bound within is actually a fractured shard of [[Magnus]]'s eye from the crown of his tower. Through this burning portal raging Chaos winds are channeled from the [[Planet of Sorcerers]] itself, allowing the raw chaos energy of this hell-planet to seep freely onto the battlefield.{{Fn|3b}}
Regardless of the way means of appearance forming it, the Mutalith mutalith is a horrendous opponent. The Mutalith monstrosity towers over not only over infantry but even above tanks. Its hulking body absorbs and draws in Chaos energy, acting as an empyric reservoir. This energy at once tears it body apart and holds its weird anatomy together. This constant struggle between order and entropy creates a swirling psychic tempest around the Beast beast that inundates all who draw near, mercilessly warping their bodies. The [[Thousand Sons]] Sorcerers sorcerers revel in this field of change but everyone else suffers horribly. The thunderous roar of the Mutalith mutalith reverberates for miles and pierces the psyche of every living entity, filling it with visions of paradoxical horror. During battle few can withstand the attack attacks of the Mutalith mutalith, whose muscles grow and reknit almost constantly, tearing and crashing smashing anything around the Beastbeast. Massive razor claws shred tanks to pieces and the tendrils formed from warp-putrefied inner organs appearing from the creature's mouth tear infantry limb from limb or draw individuals to the monster’s mashing gullet , where they are digested alive. Even close to death , when the Mutalith mutalith's body is torn open by enemy blades and torrents of artillery fire , the Chaos power of the Beast beast bleeds onto the battlefield, causing even more anarchic changes in reality.{{Fn|3b}}
