Working through a list of creatures to mod in for an underhive mod. Cant think of any "domesticated" animals that the underhivers might farm. So far the list is decently sized with dangerous wild animals and nothing tamable.

Anybody know what people have for pets in the underhive or in any other 40k universe setting? Im not even sure what a 40k dog analogue is.

Grox!

Basically think a (non-feathered) velociraptor with a T-Rex head. Also, domesticated.

[Abregado]

I always wondered what a Grox Rifle was... now I realise its the underhive equiv of an Elephant gun. Now I wonder... can we have Grox Milk/Cheese/Eggs?

Edit: Also if i give a powerful domestic creature the ability to become enraged... will they get enraged at everything or just enemies?

[Vattic]

For dogs you could use cyber mastiffs. The necromunda police have them from what I remember. According to my dad (a long time 40k collector) there has been at least one dog miniature but that was years back.

Edit to add:

Wild animals inhabit the underhives, and just like humanity have not been untouched by their environment. Scavvy Dogs are like the Scavvies themselves in that they are twisted and degenerated from their natural state and also much like Scavvies they are ruthless survivors.

From http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Scavvies#Scavvy_Dogs

If they have the twisted form they should have the natural.

Did You Hear That?
Underhive Bestiary Pt. 2
By Nick Jakos
After years, the Necromunda Bestiary is back. Originally written by Andy Chambers, the creatures here have been given an overhaul to mesh with the new rules, along with several nasty little additions of my own creation. The Bestiary covers all sorts of eventualities. Bored of regular old gang fights? Why not try fighting some Giant Rats? Been ambushed once too often? Why not take it out on some Giant Spiders or an Icroctic Slime? All the creatures below were made using the Creature Generator from part 1 of this article. Now a bit of fair warning. The creatures included here are to be used with caution, and I make no guarantees as to the safety of any gang that wants to tangle with them.

Giant Spiders
Many forms of mutant spider grow to great size in the Underhive. They are so common they have become traditionally associated with Necromunda and the most famous Imperial Guard regiment recruited on Necromunda is known as the Spiders. Giant spiders can be found throughout the Underhive, from the gantries and vents of dome ceilings to the rubble-choked tunnels running beneath the floor. Wolf spiders have long legs and chase down their prey before killing it with oversized mandibles. Orb spiders weave thick, funnel-shaped webs and hide at the end. Many unfortunate fugitives in the Underhive have run into these webfunnels in the darkness only to be paralyzed and slowly drained dry by the spider. Their gruesome cadavers hang from decaying cob-webs in the deeper parts of the Underhive.

Gigantic Spiders
In the deepest recesses of the wastes truly monstrous spiders lurk in the eternal night. Gigantic spiders can measure several meters across with massive jaws and malignant intelligence to match. They are aggressive and extremely territorial so creatures blundering into their vicinity seldom escape unharmed. Despite the dangers, hunters seek out gigantic spiders for their meat and venom, both of which command a high price in the Settlements.

Titan Spider
At the bottom of the Underhive, the ground opens into a massive canyon, stretching down miles to a sea of pollutants and chemicals known as the Sump. It is within this abyss that the most terrifying and gruesome of all creatures dwell. The largest and most dangerous are the Titan Spiders of Necromunda. These massive creatures are said to be dozens of meters across, creatures that can dwarf even an entire settlement. Raft Spiders are the silent giants of the Sump, territorial and hostile spiders that skate on the surface of the chemical sea. While hunting Raft spiders is among the most dangerous propositions on Necromunda, the rewards are well worth it. Food, medicine and clothing can all be made from the creature, though its most prized possession is its eyes, the chemical composition of which creates an impossibly hard mineral. One of these eyes alone is worth enough to send a hunter above the wall a very wealthy man, if he can get to the wall with it. Edge Spiders hide in the shadows of the Abyss, waiting for anything to fall into the crevasse and quickly devouring it. The lack of food in the depths will sometimes force edge spiders from the Abyss and into lower settlements, where they fatten themselves on whatever gets in their way. They are rumoured to carry the dreaded zombie plague and infest entire settlements with zombies, which they will then eat again, in a gruesome
cycle of life.

Ash Clams
Ash Clams are one of the more outlandish creatures of the Underhive, making their nest within the layers of ash and debris that cover the hive floor. Underneath the top layer of muck, they wait for their prey to pass. The clam is extremely sensitive to vibration and when a creature steps over its hiding place, the clam instinctively opens its gaping shell, drawing in loose dirt and anything above it. An Ash Clam will attempt to consume anything that gets too close, though a normal man is far too big for a single clam, which is rarely more than half a meter across.

Milliasaur
Milliasaurs are hideously mutated centipedes which can reach up to two meters in length. They normally live in the darkened recesses and sump-holes that abound in the Underhive. Here they lurk in the moist darkness, waiting for an unsuspecting creature to venture nearby. When their prey is close enough, the milliasaur will dart from cover and sink its poisonous fangs into its prey. The milliasaur’s poison is quick-acting and will reduce all but the largest creatures to a helpless state in a matter of minutes, allowing the milliasaur to drag its unresisting victim back to its lair and feast at its leisure.

Carrion Bat
Large bats live in the tunnels of the Underhive, where they hang in seething colonies. If disturbed, they flutter down the tunnels in a single squealing swarm. Carrion bats have ferocious piranha-like jaws, but they live by scavenging meat from the kills made by larger creatures. The bats are drawn by the scent of fresh blood and will steal a few mouthfuls of flesh before the rats arrive to pick a carcass clean. Underhivers are afraid of carrion bats because their bite carries diseases caught from their scrofulous diet, including the dreaded zombie plague.

Ripper Jacks
Ripper Jacks are dangerous bat-like creatures that inhabit abandoned domes. They hang upside down from the roofs, swooping down on unsuspecting creatures. Ripper Jacks attack by enveloping the head of their prey with their leathery wings, biting and gouging at their victim’s eyes, face and neck while maintaining a vice grip. Unless the Ripper Jack is speedily removed, its victim will quickly suffocate or bleed to death.

Giant Rats
The Underhive has a surplus of disused and decayed tunnels ideal for rats. There are many different species and their individual physiology can vary immensely. Giant rats can grow to as much as 4 feet long, though stories tell of some specimens whose teeth alone measure almost a foot. The rats are infamous for the speed of their natural reaction, giving them an almost supernatural ability to dodge attacks.

Sludge Jellies
Sludge Jellies are venomous stinging jellyfish that live in the pools of industrial waste which are common across the Underhive. While most of these creatures are only a meter across or less, Sludge Jellies in desolate pools can be very large indeed, though no attempt has succeeded in measuring them. Jellies are balloon-shaped, slimy creatures with many thick tendrils. They instinctively sense disturbances near their liquid dwelling and will float to the surface and catch anyone at the edge of the pool. The Jelly’s tendrils paralyze the victim and drag them down into their pools to be
digested later.

Face-Eater
Face-Eaters are among the most unpleasant vermin in the Underhive. Not a native to Necromunda, it is speculated that the Face-Eater was originally imported from an Imperial deathworld in an attempt to keep the population of deviant scum and vermin to a minimum. The Face-Eaters, however, quickly became established in the ventilation systems of the entire Hive and became a problem everywhere. Large eradication campaigns routinely sweep through the hive, ensuring that Face-Eaters are left only in the Underhive, where the harsh conditions keep their numbers in check. Face-Eaters can lie in wait anywhere, but prefer to hang from girders, where the appear to be innocent scraps of dangling cloth. Anyone foolish enough to approach a Face-Eater will have to be extremely agile as the creature uses a powerful muscle spasm to propel itself at its victim’s face. If the face-eater lands on target, it wraps itself around its victim’s head, attaching with several hooked claws. Powerful enzymes then go to work digesting the soft tissues of the victim’s face. Once attached, it is almost impossible to detach a face-eater without causing severe damage to the victim.

As for domestics specifically, I'm not sure if they could grow Grox on fungus. As for cyber-mastiffs:

Spoiler: From Fanatic Magazine, Enforcers (click to show/hide)

The Cyber-mastiff
All Enforcer squads include an artificial attack-construct known as a Cyber-mastiff They are also commonly known as kill-dogs, razofiangs and rending rovers by the inhabitants of the Underhive. Cyber mastiffs have in-built hunting and attack instincts, but require a specially trained Handler to direct them with a set of simple verbal commands. The following special rules apply to Cybermastiffs:

• Cyber-mastiffs ignore flesh wounds. Treat a roll of 1 when rolling for injuries as having no effect.
• Cyber-mastiffs do not have to test to 'keep their nerve' if a friend goes down or out of action within 2". In addition they are immune to the effects offear and terror.
• The Cyber-mastiff must remain within 18" of the Handler at all times. If the Handler is taken down, or
  out of action, then the Cyber-mastiff must remain within 18" of his body, but may otherwise continue to move and fight normally.
• As long as the Cyber-mastiffis not out of action, then his Handler may not be captured (the Cyber-mastiff will protect him). Treat rolls of 61-63 on the Serious Injury table as a roll of 66 instead.
• Cyber-mastiffs cannot gain Experience.
• If a Cyber-mastiff is taken out then they are assumed to have been destroyed, and will be replaced with a new Cyber-mastiff in time for the next battle.
• Consequently you should not roll on the Serious Injury table for Cyber-mastiffs that were taken out of action.

Underhive Bestiary Pt. 3
By Nick Jakos
In part three of the Underhive Bestiary, we finish out look at all the nasty creatures from the past and several new ones . All of the creatures below were created using the Creature Generator from part one of the Bestiary. So, enjoy all these beasts and have fun making your own.

Lashworms
Some areas of the Underhive are infested with lashworms, strange creatures thought to have arrived on Necromunda in spore form among textile cargo. The Lashworm begins life in a larval form during which it is more similar to a fungus. During its adolescence, the fungus breaks down and the creature emerges from its adolescence undeniably animal. Lashworms live in crevices where they wait, tightly coiled, until a victim approaches. Any vibration will ‘trigger’ the lashworm to attack, which it does by whipping out its long, flexible tail and slashing a morsel of flesh off its victim. The lashworm’s tail coils around its catch and pulls it back into its lair to digest. Their speed and instinctive attack make the them hard to spot and almost impossible to kill.

Icroctic Slime
Icroctic Slime is a transparent green blob the size of a man’s fist. This slime is the single most illicit and forbidden substance in the Underhive. Just to possess a living Icroctic slime is a crime punishable by death in most settlements. The Icroctic hangs from girders or ceilings, dropping on unsuspecting victims’ heads and attempting to absorb itself into the victim’s skull. On its way, the slime feeds a massive dose of stimulants into the victim, giving them a euphoric feeling and a super human strength unmatched by other drugs.

Shadow Slime
Structurally similar to Icroctic slime, shadow slime is more hostile, hiding in the shadows where its dark color leaves it all but invisible. When mistaken for a patch of oil or stone, the slime attacks by sticking itself to its prey and dissolving clothing or armor . The composition of Shadow Slime is uniquely acidic and can dissolve flesh and bone in minutes, absorbing the nutrients and growing. When wounded, the slime explodes into cloud of acid that can seriously wound those nearby. More dangerous than that, however, is the slime’s ability to reproduce with startling speed. The profile below is that for a small Shadow Slime, though they are known to be as large as men in some areas.

Croak Hound
Croak Hounds are a stable and common life form on many hive worlds, where they roam in packs. They make their way from the Ash Wastes into the Underhive in search of food. Croakers are very aggressive and can be as large as a man, all claws and teeth. When hunting, the croakers give off a loud growl for which they are named, that is thought to coordinate several creatures attacking at once.

Blood Fly
Blood Flies breed in the large pools of effluent that litter the Underhive. Easily the size of a man’s fist, the flies have an excruciating bite with which they subdue their victims to feed. For most Underhivers, who are rugged by nature, these flies are little more than an annoyance. However, large groups of Blood Flies have been known to swarm, injuring or even killing gang fighters who let their guard down.

Sand Trout
In the clutter of ash and debris that litters the Underhive floor, Sand Trout dart around like fish in water. These wormlike creatures are covered with several thousand legs that move together and
propel it through the ash. The jaws of the Sand Trout are surrounded by two or three large fangs that can crush prey like ash clams with little effort. Though they are typically not large enough to take on a man, Sand Trout will occasionally attack from below, causing grotesque and painful injuries.

Spitworm
Spitworms are prevalent in the Underhive where they hide under debris and wait for their prey to pass. When within range, the worm spits a highly noxious liquid at its victim. The venom of the spitworm is dangerous, but not fatal. However, if the victim is not quick to remove the venom, it can cause blindness and dizziness, that will render the victim helpless, allowing the worms to feed.

Necromundan Gas Fungus
There are hundreds of fungi in the Underhive. Most are harmless, some are eaten by Scavvies and mutants, and poisons or drugs can be distilled from others. Fungi tend to grow in large clusters consisting of many different varieties. Gas fungi protect themselves from interference by releasing a cloud of toxins which have a variable effect on humans.

Brain Leaf
The Brain Leaf is a most extraordinary plant as it seems to possess a form of intelligence, albeit of a fairly low, instinctive level. The plant grows an inconspicuous grey-green color, surrounded by a cluster of vines. The Brain Leaf’s vines are plain and smooth, stretching out from the central cluster and ending in a single leaf. Each leaf is a macro-cell including a rasping hook, enveloped by a bundle of nerve cells. If a creature moves close enough, the plant’s leaf sticks the victim and injects the nerve cells into the host. Once inside, the fibers replicate and spread at an alarming rate, taking over the host’s own nervous system. Although the plant lacks the intelligence to control its host completely, it is able to use its victims in a sensible and rational way. Most are used as compost, though the Brain Leaf can also inject its host with seedlings that detach from the parent vine, growing into mature plants within the warmth and protection of the host.

Spine Crystals
Though Spine crystals are actually more akin to minerals than plants, the speed of their growth makes them seem almost alive. Normally, spine crystals grow at the edges of effluent pools or discharge outlets, where the pollutants have been accumulating for a long time. It is impossible to hide amongst crystals, which are razor sharp and will inflict thousands of tiny cuts and scratches which will soon become festering sores due to the crystal’s toxic make-up.

Wire Weed
Many derelict industrial plants and functioning authority establishments on Necromunda are defended by belts of bio-wire. Bio-wire is a genetically altered cross between plant and mineral, originally developed from a deathworld xenomorph. Spores from the established Bio-Wire patches can drift into the ventilation systems, leaving dense clumps of this dangerous wire in many uninhabited parts of the Underhive. To Underhive dwellers, this is known as Wire Weed. Bio-Wire was originally grown as a form of military defense, a sort of living barbed wire. The wire is very tough and regenerates quickly. Its sharp thorns can pierce armour and lacerate exposed flesh to the bone. To make things even worse, Wire Weed secretes an acidic sap which reduces those entangled to bone in mere
hours.

Among the most dangerous fungi in the Underhive is the Plague Spore. The Spore pod is usually black or dark green and covered with a sickly viscous slime. When approached, the pod releases its spores, which are highly poisonous and can cause death in minutes. The victim succumbs to the spores and falls to the ground, host for new growth.

The Fire spore is encased in a large, leathery pod, dark brown or black in color and distinguishable by its fiery red and orange stripes.

This explosion will trigger nearby fire spores to explode as well.

Yep the "Did you hear that" creatures and those from the original rule/source book are all in the list already. It was more the domestic creatures I was looking at filling up.

Cyber Mastiffs will be used by the Guilders and Arbiters but never as wild or domesticated creatures. Scavvy Dogs are now ON THE LIST as wild animals and pets for the future scavvy civ.

Just tested out giving current domestic animals [PRONE TO RAGE].. didnt seem to make them angry at me even when i was cutting their heads off at the butchery.

[Sirus]

Working through a list of creatures to mod in for an underhive mod. Cant think of any "domesticated" animals that the underhivers might farm. So far the list is decently sized with dangerous wild animals and nothing tamable.

Anybody know what people have for pets in the underhive or in any other 40k universe setting? Im not even sure what a 40k dog analogue is.

Grox!

Basically think a (non-feathered) velociraptor with a T-Rex head. Also, domesticated.

No kidding? I always pictured grox as a sort of grazing herd animal, sort of like a bison or something.

[NobodyPro]

Domestic animals only seem to attack people by accident when crowded (make a 1x1 pasture for !!SCIENCE!!). Rage is just a combat buff, hence mega-badgers.

[Vattic]

Cyber Mastiffs will be used by the Guilders and Arbiters but never as wild or domesticated creatures. Scavvy Dogs are now ON THE LIST as wild animals and pets for the future scavvy civ.

Doesn't the existence of scavvy dogs imply the existence of normal dogs?

[Abregado]

Doesn't the existence of scavvy dogs imply the existence of normal dogs?

Implies that there are dogs in the hive somewhere. Perhaps they all suffer from scavvie syndrome? Either way since i dont have a domestic animal that can eat vermin, guard the stockpiles, ect, im putting dogs in. But... enhanced!

Im going for the feel that everything in the underhive can kill a man. So a single regular dog should be able to kill or at least seriously injure an unarmed/armoured civilian dude. Even the domestics should not be safe. All raw food items are inedible, and most one-time processed foods have very minor syndromes. "safe" in the underhive means "on the edge of unsafe". If i could add a syndrome to natural water sources i would do that as well....
