Tepresi

The Tepresi are pale, bone-feeding Xenos ambush predators, which use their tentacles to attack prey that are near their brood-dens.^[1]

The Deathwatch has established effective tactics against them, which include using a Bioscryer to detect the faint surface vibrations the Tepresi cause. Once the Xenos are detected, the Deathwatch approaches them using three approved battle formations, which include the Trisanctic Executor Delta formation. When in range of the Tepresi's tentacles, the Deathwatch use power weapons to sever the appendages and then use the stubs to pull the Xenos out of their brood-dens. They then kill the Tepresi by firing a Hellfire Round into Xenos' brain stems and destroy the brood-dens with gouts of mutagenic acid. Watch Captain Artemis's forces used these tactics to great effect in M42, while destroying the Tepresi infesting a world.^[1]
