Rippers possess serpentine bodies approximately half a metre long that terminate in a broad head above a set of vestigial gripping claws. The head is split by a wide maw filled with rows of exceedingly sharp ripping hooks and razor-edged boney ridges. The Ripper’s powerful jaws can bite through flesh and bone with alarming ease, and they have been known to gnaw their way through steel to reach food. Rippers are energetic and fearless organisms, quite capable of pulling down creatures many times their own size, from a rampaging Grox to an armed man. Once a Ripper's jaws tighten around its prey, they stay clamped shut until a mouthful of flesh is torn away or the Ripper is slain. Huge swarms of Rippers are often seen on the battlefield. Rippers are mindless and will persih when they lose contact to the hive Mind. heavily inspired by warhammer40k Instinct: devour bio-mass and return it to the spawning pit
