Wire Weed

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

Bio-wire is a genetically modified Death World xenomorph which has been adapted to serve as protection for Imperial institutions, establishments of authority on Hive Worlds or industrial complexes run by Guilds which can afford it. On Necromunda, however, spores from this terrible plant have escaped and spread over the centuries so that dense clumps of bio-wire can now be found spread all throughout the Underhive, which the residents call Wire Weed.[1]

Developed originally as a military defence, bio-wire is essentially a much worse form of living barbed wire, incredibly tough and able to regenerate. Its "thorns" can penetrate armour and cut flesh to the bone, while secreting an acidic "sap" that will reduce anyone tangled inside it to a skeleton within minutes.[1]
