The Dakkarian Brain Slug is a creature found on the dense jungle world of Dakkar. This tropical Death World is home to all manner of deadly creatures, and the brain slug is possibly the most insidious and dangerous of all. It attaches to a host creature's nervous system and completely takes over the body and mind of its victim. When threatened, the Slug can slip below the dermal layer of the host's flesh through the break in the skin it made on the back of the host's neck. Once there, it extends a small breathing tube through the back of the neck, and it can then pass undetected among uninfected creatures with ease. Even the largest predator can fall victim to this malicious creature, and its unnerving ability to pass between hosts quickly makes dealing with the threat near impossible. |

Rumors persist that the Brain Slugs have attached themselves to human hosts to gain passage off-world on conscript barges within the Imperial Guard. Entire contingents have been cleansed by regular Guardsmen armed with flamers at the slightest hint of Brain Slug infection.
Assembly – Jeff: I made this creature from the adrenal gland biomorph that's on the Tyranid Biomorph sprue. I used a head from the Zombie Regiment sprue to give the Guardsman a slightly vacant and tortured visage. I gouged holes into the breastplate to suggest that other Guardsmen had tried to take this host down.
