Thermovore
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Thermovores are slug-like molluscs native to the planet Phantine.[1]
They dwell on the outside of Phantine's domed cities, clustering around heat exchange vents in order to feed off of the bacteria in the steam (hence their name). A mature thermovore can grow to the size of an ork's finger but, aside from the disgusting nature of the slime they produce, they are largely harmless to humans.[1]
Thermovores are preyed upon by skinwings.[1]
