Dark Heresy: The Graneus Prime Bestiary

++INCOMING TRANSMISSION++

++CLEARANCE CONFIRMED++

Greetings, loyal servants of the Inquisition. This is Magos Tringathar, transmitting from the wreckage of the Herald of Terra. As per the request of Watch Commander Metallus, I have compiled a report on the creatures endemic to the warp world of Graneus Prime.

So far, my studies have led me to the conclusion that these beasts are largely similar to the animals of pre-Imperial Terra, save for peculiar differences such as enlarged eyes and heightened levels of anthropomorphism. Ultimately, however, there are far more similarities than differences. This could be attributed to convergent evolution, but there is an alternative hypothesis: that these creatures were transplanted from Terra. This has been bolstered by the discovery of a civilization of primitive but sentient equinoids. Early observational data suggests that the culture of these aliens shares many bizarre parallels with early human civilizations. I realize that this comparison may upset those of a more puritan disposition, but I assure you that my conclusions are the fruit of a mind ever faithful to the Omnissiah.

I have attached a preliminary report evaluating the physical characteristics of the equinoids, who are apparently divided into three subspecies. There are rumors of fourth subspecies, but unfortunately little data is available on them at this time. Forgive also the incomplete nature of these descriptions: when I requested a biopsy specimen from Inquisitor Valesius, he responded by glaring at me contemptuously.

Thank you for the report Magos. I will relay this message to my brothers on Baal and inform them of new data collected on these, xenos. I humbly await more news.
