well, Goats and Chickens(particularly the males) were sometimes burned at the stake.


this always involved cases of Bestiality and there was a human involved too(also burned)


a Rooster would only be burned if a "Rooster's Egg" was discovered.

a Rooster's Egg occurs when a chicken(not a male) lays an egg with no yolk. these were mistakenly called Rooster Eggs.

Rooster Eggs were supposed to be incubated by a Toad and would hatch into a Cockatrice(1/2 dragon, 1/2 Cock)

It's not heresy when we do it!

Thats what i was thinking, there is no mention of Orcs in any of the 6 books, and Space Marines are only in one book IIRC.

The Jokero are not sentient or intelligent... just genetically pre-disposed to be wondrous when tinkering with tech. Yes, they're a space-faring race, but appear to have no language, culture (above "wandering herd of apes") or arts.

They're another Old Ones-created race that exists to do one thing well, and is otherwise simply an animal.

Thats actually very interesting, and confirmed by Lexicanum.


so it isn't any more heretical to have a Jokaero in your service then it is to have a pet dog that does tricks.

they are animals with the ability to make technology.
