Corpse Eater
—————————Background—————————
Avexis - Jungle planet double the size of earth
Scattered villages under the rule of the Avexis Bush viper imperial guard regiment
—————————-SUMMARY—————————
“The Ghoul of Avexis” is an extremely agile and intelligent broodlord of a hive fleet of Unkown origin. Confirmed reports of the specimen were obtained from recordings left by a deceased scout squad of the Avexis Bush vipers regiment before the eventual invasion of Hive fleet Hydra. The villages all over Avexis went into mass hysteria believing old folklore has came back to haunt them resulting in extreme isolation amongst each other making it easier for a planetary invasion. It was also noted that it predated on other tyranids during the invasion before it was eventually reabsorbed.
The Bush Vipers first noted unnatural activity when multiple burial sites around nearby villages from there base was found dug out and destroyed. Day by day more and more people began disappearing as well, going off word of mouth and sightings at night of a mysterious creature, the locals believed it to be a Ghoul one of the ancient creatures from folklore, as it had behaviors similar to the way the creature was acting. Paranoid from the concept of an ancient evil coming back to eat them they isolated themselves, only speaking and interacting with people within there village. This behavior continued for years. Until the occupation of the Avexis bush vipers. The only noted footage of the broodlord was when the 180th scout squad went to secure a area next to one of the rubes cemetery in preparation for a large shipment of supplies. They watched in horror as it stood atop a field of corpses before it mauled the scout team into pieces and later fleeing into the darkness of the jungle.
———————-FIRST ENCOUNTER——————
A loud crunch noise echoed from tombstone to tombstone until they located where the sound was resonating the loudest , seeing the large creature with the flashlights affixed to there helmets, the creature was centered around a pile of corpses overshadowing the two scouts that were gazing upon it. Quick onto its feet, It attached itself to two large trees with both legs in an almost split position while it’s larger arms where gripping the two branches from the tree it was sandwiched between, it’s left smaller arm pierced through one of the guardsmans head as he now hung lifeless facing the creature, its right smaller arm was now posed as if it was about to deliver a full swipe across the remaining scouts chest. The rest of the squadron interrupted this action by firing multiple shots out of there lasguns hoping to land a critical hit and deter it, but its bloodthirsty expression remained unchanged, the combined lasfire was enough to get it to drop the guardsman who’s head it had impaled as it scuttled away into the jungle. The rest of the scout squad was quick to follow and avenge there fallen comrade , chasing it for a good half a mile blind firing as they tried to maneuver the rough terrain, they were halted when the creature cut down a tree with its large curved claws causing a large splash of mud and vegetation to carpet them and dissipate any tracks it might have left behind. Making a unanimous decision to stop pursuing, they radioed to the rest of the squadron only to find that communication had somehow been severed, they instead reverted to talking into recordings to document there surroundings. The scout squad never made it back to reunite with the rest of the battalion, only a stash of recordings in a hole of one of the native trees were recovered.
