Unit Spotlight: Dark Legion Necrobeast Rider

In the Lore:
Originating from a planet recently conquered by Alakhai himself, the animal that has been mutated into the necrobeast is an evil, malign and fast moving construct ridden by the largest and most cunning of the necromutants; the Centurions.
The Necrobeasts have been biogenetically reconstructed into dark creatures like nothing ever known by mankind; when a Necrobeast moves, it does so with an unsettling agility. The pinnacle of necromutation, every muscle is utilized to its maximum potential. Every aspect of their physical form has been manufactured for the sole purpose of war and dealing a merciless and brutal death. This alien monstrosity can taste a prey’s blood in the air from several miles away, making it a remarkable tracker. Its jaws are filled with rows upon rows of serrated teeth, which continually fall out and are organically replaced with new growths, ensuring they are always razor sharp. Two small black eyes reflect an intelligence which, like their master’s, is cruel and cunning with a penchant for merciless slaughter. Beyond the Citadels and upon the battlefield the beasts are frequently ridden to war by Centurions, the most elite of all human-based Necromutants. The Necrobeast’s malign intelligence recognizes and respects the Centurion’s superiority in all that is dark and consents to becoming a steed.
