Dog
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
This article is about the the animal. For other uses of Dog, see Dog (disambiguation). |
Dogs are quadruped mammals native to Terra but encountered on several other worlds throughout the Imperium. They are popular domestic pets.[1a]
The Iron Snakes Space Marine Chapter is unique among the Adeptus Astartes in that they are trained to use dogs, whose senses are useful in tracking and flushing out Dark Eldar.[1b]
Dogs are also genetically related to wolves. Hence, after the Burning of Prospero, it was customary for Chaos Space Marines of the Thousand Sons Legion to refer to the Space Wolves as "the Dogs."[2]
Notable Dogs
- Princeps — favoured hunting dog of the High Legislator of Fuce, on Baal Solock[1a]
