The Inquisition Sends its Regards

Report Two: Vivisection

+++Overwatch: Inquisitor Damien Tyrannis, His Imperial Majesty’s Holy Inquisition: Ordo Xenos
Performer: Magos Biologis C-52-Alpha

Notes regarding all Equus based organisms: All organisms in this genus are noted to have markings upon their posterior sections, to the side. It is currently unknown what they represent.All subjects are of different colouration. Assumption is that colouration is random and deviates.

Subject: "Unicorn"-Equus Unicornis
Notes: The subject was first immobilized to encourage the ceasation of struggling. However, pain receptors were allowed to remain active to view nerve based responses to pain based stigma. First, the subject's chest was opened to examine primary organs. Massive bleeding occurred and was stopped with coagulants. Musculature is well knitted and surprisingly similar to standard animal based organic constructs. Systems are remarkably similar to the common Terran Equine. Lungs are large, and well protected by the rib cage. The heart is located between the lungs, and is therefore of excellent protection. Fluctuations were noted due in large part to massive amounts of pain. It should be noted that due to the heart's placement, individuals should not aim for this location unless with bolt rounds, head shots are suggested. Cranium was then opened for examination of head structures. Herbivore teeth, blunt, crushing. Well developed brain, large. Frontal lobe connected directly to bony structure used to channel warp energy, the horn. Touching the horn causes massive amounts of pain, striking it leads to unconsciousness. Removal leads to lethality via sensory overload (pain based). Remains burned.
Suggested termination method: Cranial trauma, surgical removal of horn.

Subject: "Pegasus"-Equus Ales
Notes: Subject immobilized, pain receptors allowed to remain active. Internal structure identical to Subject: Equus Unicornis. However, two major deviations to internal structure are as such. Nervous system extends to wings, which have been confirmed to be extremely sensitive, and potentially erogenous. Bones are hollow to facilitate flight. Wings were removed, but do not lead to lethality. Remains burned
Suggested termination method: Cranial trauma.

Subject: Earth Pony-Equus Terra
Notes: Subject immobilized, pain receptors allowed to remain active. Internal structure identical to prior equine subjects. Bones in fore- and hind-quarters of greater calcium density and strengths. Muscles abnormally well developed. Remains burned.
Suggested termination method: Cranial trauma.

Subject: Alicorn-Equus Magnum
Notes: Subject terminated due to altercation with Adeptus Astartes. Subject is referred to as being a monarch of the equine Xenos. Winged and horned. Major trauma makes advanced analyses improbable. Head annihilated, multiple gashes, and wing removed with chain weapon. However, subject is known to be larger than standard equines, with a better developed musculature, longer horn in comparison to Subject: Equus Unicornis, and larger wings than Subject: Equus Ales. Musculature and bone structure of stronger disposition than Subject: Equus Terra. Wings proposed to be erogenous. Astartes combat reports state that multiple bolter rounds to the cranium were required to terminate the Xenos, and that three casualties were sustained fighting it. Xenos was of massive psychic capabilities. Remains burned.
Suggested termination method: Cranial annihilation, possible surgical removal of horn.

Subject: Griffons-Maiorem Gripen
Notes: Subject immobilized, pain receptors allowed to remain active. Combination of Lion and Eagle. Fusion method currently unknown, possible mutation. Bones hollow to facilitate flight, easily broken. Wings sensitive, possibly erogenous. Removal created great pain to subject as well as strenuous pleading. Tongue removed at Inquisitor Damien Tyrannis's request. Frontal claws capable of shredding steel. Rear paws can be used to facilitate bipedal transportation. Distinct avian cranial structure, delicate, easily shattered with blunt trauma. However, suggested engagement method is at range. Carnivorous diet, but lack of teeth. Well developed brain, though surprisingly small, due to avian skull. Remains burned.
Suggested termination method: Cranial trauma, heart shot.

Subject: Minotaur-Hominis Vera Ludibria
Notes: Subject unattainable due to overzealous Adeptus Astartes response to appearance. Basic structure is a man with a bull's head. Cranial trauma did not stop subjects, according to reports, but large detonations and vaporization, as well as flame based weaponry proved to be effective.
Suggested termination method: Vaporization, detonation, immolation.

Subject: Changeling-Fallax Vavatonem
Notes: Subject immobilized through physical restraint due to to resistance to chemical methods, pain receptors allowed to remain active. Subject's carapace was uneasy to breach, necessitating the usage of a saw. Subject perished during opening. Subject possessed both wings and horn, and was a gestalt organism tied into the rest of the swarm. Due to large size, it is believed that it was the leader, which went by the name "Chrysalis". Subject attempted to feed off of emotions, and was surprised by the lack thereof. Small, but well developed brain, tied into horn, potentially used to communicate with swarm. Destruction of swarm led to insanity and gibbering. Internal organs standard, with lungs and heart, but with marked lack of stomach.
Suggested termination method: Chain weapons
