[[Ork fleet]]s are known to hunt groups of these "fishies", as they call them.{{Fn|4}} Although the radiation riven innards are inedible, even to [[Orks]], [[Freebooterz]] may seek to "scrobble" their guts as bait for even larger creatures.{{Fn|4}}
===Tainted Void Whales===
Void Whales that have become corrupted by the [[Warp]], are known as '''Tainted Void Whales'''.{{Fn|5b}}
==Notable Examples==
* In 877.[[M41]], a hideously mutated Void Whale emerged from the [[Warp Gate]] of '''Sloth''' and was destroyed by a boarding party of [[Space Wolves]] led by [[Engir Krakendoom]] before it could devour the astral stronghold of [[Perillia]]. Battling their way through the frond-forests and gill-chasms of bipedal vampiric [[Remora (Warp)|Remora]], Engir and his Wolves planted thermal charges deep within the creature's vital organs and escaped before it exploded. The [[Perillian Gas Belt]] was born from its remains.{{Fn|1}}
* In [[M42]], a large number of Tainted Void Whales appeared in a [[sector]],{{Fn|5b}} being fought over by the [[Prophet (Sorcerer Lord)|Prophet]] and an [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet]].{{Fn|5a}}. The creatures had emerged from a hole in the [[Warp]], that was created by [[Chaos]] [[Sorcerers]], and posed such a threat, that they were immediately targeted and destroyed by the Crusade Fleet.{{Fn|5b}}
