Stygian Beast
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Stygian Beast is a Black Legion Battleship that is commanded by the Sorcerer Xorphas and served as the flagship for the Legion's forces in the Diamor Campaign.[1]
During the campaign, the Stygian Beast was used by Xorphas to strike out against the Blood Angels' forces when the Sorcerer conducted a Chaos ritual within the Battleship that induced the Black Rage on many within the Space Marine Chapter's Strike Cruisers, Angelic Blade and Flame of Baal[1]. It would go on to survive the campaign's conclusion and evacuated Xorphas, and many of the Black Legion, to safety after their final defeat by the Imperium's forces on Amethal.[2]
