| rdfs:comment | - Catachan Devils are creatures from the planet Catachan in the Warhammer 40,000 Universe.
- The front legs of older male Devils become grossly enlarged, resembling scorpion claws. These mighty beasts are often dubbed "Fiddlers" in Catachan slang, and are quite rightly feared for their ferocity and raw power. Catachan Devils are able to move with surprising speed for something of such large size, and are superbly adapted to move across a large variety of terrain. Once a Catachan Devil has captured its unfortunate victim, it will either shred it with its razor-sharp claws or sting it into insensibility with its barbed tail, before finally consuming it.

Catachan Devils are territorial, yet quite sociable creatures, tending to form nesting groups with others of their kind. These groups often contain several large male Devils, as well as a few dozen juvenile "Devilspawn." The entire nest will come together to defend their territory from any intruders, be it rival Devils, human colonists, or other predators, and have even been known to attack Imperial Guard tank companies. It has also been speculated by several Magos Biologis of the Adeptus Mechanicus since the Imperium's first contact with the Tyranids in the late 41st Millennium that the Catachan Devils are the descendants of a long-lost Tyranid vanguard organism that has effectively become feral after being cut off from the Tyranid Hive Mind.
