"The continent was overrun with monstrous half-breeds and beastfiends: savage tribes of creatures that were dread fusions of animal and daemon."
- — Archaon: Lord of Chaos
A Beastfiend is a variant of the Chaos mutants called Beastmen that are found only in the Southern Chaos Wastes. Unlike those Children of Chaos found elsewhere in the Known World, Beastfiends have little resemblance to Mankind. Instead, these creatures of the Southern Wastes are fusions of mortal beasts and Daemon, battling each other for supremacy and the favour of the Dark Gods.[1a]
Like their northern cousins, Beastfiends organise themselves into tribes which are advised by shamans and usually led by beastlords. They have no tools beyond weapons made out of stone, bone, frozen flesh and ice and speak only the Daemonic Dark Tongue.[1a] Some have tamed the wild beasts found on the southern continent as mounts, such as Chaos-mutated variants of Rhinoxen.[1a]
Notable Beastfiends[]
- Ograx the Great ("The Bestial Prince") - Ograx was a servant of Khorne and the quest companion of the future thirteen Everchosen Archaon when he was in the Southern Wastes.
