Hookfang
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Hookfang is a type of poisoned blade used by Venenum Assassins of the Officio Assassinorum. These daggers were designed after a now-extinct apex predator of the Age of Strife and contained a neural-degenerative toxin engineered by the Grandmaster of the Clade. Even the smallest scratch is deadly, and it is said that only three individuals were able to survive the toxin during the reign of the Grandmaster during the Horus Heresy, including herself.[2]
