Ever since the first great transport barges descended on Necromunda to lay the foundations of the hive colonisation pets of all shapes and sizes have always been a popular investment for Necromundans for recreation, work and protection. The most notorious advocates are the warring Underhive gangs who use them as attack pets to intimidate or maul their rivals and for protecting their turf. Through selective breeding the number of viable animal attack pets have soared as well as a proliferation of black market technologies make them an affordable, intimidating and prestigious accessory for any gang leader to own.
