History
Chaos Dwarfs legends say that they were once people of their race mutated in living bull-furnaces to serve the god Hashut and call them the Red Bulls of Hashut. They stable them beneath the great temple to the god in Zharr-Naggrund and powerful Chaos Dwarfs are hence able to ride them into battle. [2a]
The fire they breathe is hot enough to melt iron, and the weapons instantly soften and blunt as their wielders are about to deliver the blow. When its rage reaches its peak, the flames burst out of its throat and eyes, which usually resolves with the creature smashing its way into a large regiment.[1] Its hide is bright red, flickering with sparks and is thick enough to resist heavy blows. [2a]
