Ripper Jack

Ripper Jacks are creatures which feature in Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 setting. They are most frequently encountered in the Necromunda skirmish-level wargame.

Description
Few creatures in Necromunda’s Underhive are are feared as the Ripper Jacks. Appearing as something of a cross between an Alien “facehugger” and a toothy bat, these horrors lurk on high-slung pipes and rusted gantries. Once their prey comes with range, Ripper Jacks will then drop on top of the target, enveloping the whole head with their powerful “wings.” Once attached, the Ripper Jack will then consume first the victim’s eyes, then the face and throat, concentrating on the soft, fleshy parts. Unless removed with great speed (by one of the targets friends, as it is nigh-on impossible to do alone), the poor unfortunate will die of suffocation, unless the blood loss or trauma does not do for him first.
