Nightmare Hulk

Chaos Portal

Nightmare Hulks are humans mutated by Warp-Born powers. Their mutations are the most extreme transformation a mortal can go trough before the body collapses or becomes a Chaos Spawn.^[1a]

Overview

Each standing over ten feet tall and weighing more than a ton, these mutants retain minimal sanity and intellect, making them prized assets in Chaos vassal hosts for their fearlessness and berserk aggression. They lead charges against Imperial fortresses, smashing through defenses with their grotesque strength and jagged claws.^[1a]

Nightmare Hulks are hideous, featuring diseased deformities, extra mouths, tentacles, and bulging skin folds, instilling crippling fear in their enemies. Their monstrous appearance and sheer rage drive foes to flee in terror. Permanently enraged, they attack with claws, tentacles, or by swallowing adversaries whole, sometimes using crude weapons. The largest and most powerful are known as 'Colossal Hulks, unmatched in ferocity.^[1a]
