Well there is that one picture I would post, but I was given a stern warning about posting it.

So instead I'll post this:

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.

I'd have to go for them too, even if they're not the most scary-looking of the bunch. This race used to rule the galaxy at some point, got defeated and then went off to sulk in the Warp where even the daemons cross the street rather than meet them.

Came in to say Umbras, they're nasty things. But seems a lot of people beat me to it.

Also Slaugath and Barghesi sound pretty crazy.

Ah, the ptera-squirrel.

The meaner you treat them, the bigger and more aggressive they become.

Just attempting to wipe them out starts an arms race that you can't beat.

Catachan has its share of horrible alien life forms. The barking toads, for example.

All in all, it's a planet where Aussies go for holidays, because it reminds us of home, but isn't quite as deadly.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

No love for the Catachan nuclear toads?


Although I forgot about the Umbra. What book/sourcebook are they from?
