Bloodlouse

Bloodlice are creatures native to the planet Fenris. Usually nesting inside the corpses of vermin, they were known to crawl into balls of twitching bodies and, when disturbed, would sting their prey to death and make a new nest.^[1]

The toxins produced by bloodlice are capable of harming an ordinary human, but are merely an irritant to the enhanced physiology of a Space Marine. For this reason, they were sometimes used by the Blood Claws of the Space Wolves Chapter to prank the unwary as part of a booby trap.^[1]
