Overview
A lush but pestilent planet, Anathrax is full of giant bulbous fungi, made up of puffy-eyed heads that cough and sneeze a grey mucous which corrupts those who touch it.[1]
History
During the Abyssal Crusade, the Iron Drakes chapter was ambushed on the planet by its vile vegetation and Plague Marines, resulting in their eventual corruption into the Grey Death.[1][2][3]
Trivia
The name of the planet Anathrax was likely formed by referencing the deadly disease anthrax.
