Typhonis Mons

Typhonis Mons is an extinct volcano located on the planet Menatar; it is the largest volcano in the Ozyma-138 System.^[1]

Many millennia before M41, the Exodite colony on Menatar imprisoned a Tyranid vanguard organism beneath the volcano. Records of the prison were discovered aboard a derelict ship by Magos Iapetus Borgovda, resulting in a joint Adeptus Mechanicus-Ordo Xenos operation to unearth it. As the vault was brought to the surface, it triggered a psychic beacon and the Tyranid, dubbed Specimen Six, broke free. Despite efforts to capture the creature alive for study, Kill Team Talon of the Deathwatch were forced to kill it.^[1]
