Natborn (House Goliath)

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

The Natborn are the second-largest of House Goliath's three sub-factions and are naturally born, instead of grown in amneo-vats like most of the House's members.[1]

Born from either fertile Vatborn or sometimes other Natborn, they enjoy both a longer life-span and relatively heightened intelligence compared to the Vatborn. They control House Goliath's upper hierarchy, as many of the Alphas are Natborn, as are the Overtyrants almost without exception. The Natborn also represent the future of the Goliaths, as they may eventually allow the House to free itself from the necessity of the amneo-vat technologies it relies on. Outside agencies are also interested in the Natborn, for if the Goliath genus can reliably reproduce itself then the House could become a true Abhuman species. If that were to happen, then perhaps the Goliaths could be seeded to other worlds where their strength and hardiness might aid the Imperium.[1]
