no edit summary
A common rite of passage among Jungle Fighters is for junior soldiers to earn their ''"Catachan name,"'' a sobriquet that acknowledges their battle experiences and/or some notable quality of theirs.{{Fn|11}} For example, [[Colonel]] [[Straken]]'s nickname "Iron Hand" comes from the [[bionic]] arm which replaced the one he lost to a [[Miral]] [[Land Shark]]{{Fn|7h}}, while [[Gunnery Sergeant]] "Stonetooth" Harker's reputation for toughness is such that he was able to kill a [[Tyranid]] [[Ravener]] by crushing its neck between his biceps, and was rumoured to chew glass the way other men chew tobacco (though the latter is probably an exaggeration).{{Fn|7i}} Cheroots are a common form of smoking [[lho-leaf|lho-leaves]] amongst Catachan Jungle Fighters.{{Fn|47}}
