The Lurker is a massive xeno-beast found in the desolate swamps of Gorzal. This organism hides much of its enormous bulk under the silty and fetid waters of the drenched planet until an unsuspecting creature moves into range. Then the Lurker bursts forth in a spray of filthy water, its large, bladed arms shooting out to skewer its prey and drag it down to its waiting mouths.
Much like the slow-moving icebergs of Fenris, almost all of the Swamp Lurker's body lies beneath the clouded waters of Gorzal. The creature's crustacean-like legs find purchase among the rotting roots and debris as the xenos carefully picks its way across the surface of Gorzal. Lucky observers may notice its many-eyed ocular stalk jutting from the water in time to avoid an attack. Specimens as large as 120 metres in length are not unheard of, and some whisper that they've narrowly survived attacks by creatures three times as large.

Assembly – Jeff: I constructed the Lurker's tentacle-claws from four of the large spires that belong to the Hive Node from the Battle For Macragge sprue. (If you can't get your hands on these components, the Carnifex scything talons will work as well.) I formed the head of this conversion out of a spare bit from the Carnifex sprue.
