Claws of Karanak Background Tables
Source: Predators and Prey (out of print)
Devoted worshippers of Khorne's infamous Hound of Vengeance, the Claws of Karanak hunt down those who offend the Blood God.
The daemon-touched champions of these pack can track the stench of cowardice, weakness and restraint for leagues, and relish brutally savaging any prey whose nerve falters. The flesh of the quarry is then flayed with crude practicality by the Claws, the rest of the remains either claimed as trophies or left in honour to their daemonic patron Karanak. The former names of these warriors are typically shortened and made harsher upon joining the cult, the better to be snarled through increasingly muzzle-like maws.
