Catachan Devil

The Catachan Devil is an insectoid creature native to the Imperial Death World of Catachan, but the organism has been introduced onto several other worlds across the galaxy. Catachan Devils are scorpion-like in appearance with a series of segmented body sections and pairs of legs terminating in a long tail with a poisonous barb, which curves forward over the creature’s back. As Catachan Devils grow, they develop more and more mid-sections and pairs of legs. A fully grown adult can have up to thirty sets of legs, reaching up to thirty meters in length, reaching the size of a small Land Train. 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.
