Ultimately the Dreadclaws were dropped from service by the majority of the Imperial of the time, except for the [[traitor legions]]. The Dreadclaw's advanced [[machine spirit]] began to develop dangerous tendencies, on occasion causing the deaths of its passengers, though in the dark times of [[Horus Heresy|the Heresy]] their use continued due to the desperation of their commander; or their wanton lack of care for their troops. Despite the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] revising the vehicle's machine spirit, a streak of ''accidents'' led to the majority of the Dreadclaws being jettisoned into space, and now only the Traitor Legions are known to use these dangerous, albeit advanced, vessels.{{Cite This}}
===Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw===
The '''Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw''' was initially designed to insert Space Marine boarding forces onto enemy spaceships. As such they have minimal profile and a heavily armoured hull. The craft is mounted with a series of [[Meta]] cutters, originally to slice through the outer hull of a ship. Unlike some earlier boarding craft, the Dreadclaw is also a fully independent dropship capable of returning their cargo to friendly ships.{{Fn|2}}
