Please.... Catachan has awfulness of the Devil and the Mindleaf horror... That's nothing. We have jellyfish that kill you through such mind-shattering pain, all forms of pain, you believe the world is ending--And if you can be restrained from committing suicide, the pain and sense of doom raises your blood pressure that you're at risk of dying from cardiac arrest. And morphine doesn't work. And it doesn't need a 'drop of venom' ... it needs but a caress of its invisible metre long tendrils. So tiny and small, you'll never see them coming until it's already too late. We also have a snail that stabs you with tailor made, highly deadly protein chain attached to a harpoon like grown tooth it shoots. This deadly venom it builds on the fly to suit the prey it seeks to hunt. Catachan is Australia, but on easy mode. Less said about a certain spider that will go out of its way to see your shoes as the most suitable lair to nest in with a peculiar type of delta atracotoxin that arrests the sodium ion channels in your motor neurons so you die frothing at the mouth in a spasmodic fit, the better. Did I mention our bats carry super-rabies and all they need to do is scratch you to catch it?
''despite the occasional kilometre wide explosions which occur'' is one of the most 40k things i've ever heard. a kilometre wide cloud of death is just a normal hazard :D
I think the most 40k thing I heard was a quote from an imperial guard novel (I’m doing this off memory so bare with me) “there is not a question of if we will take this city but when, for I will send wave after wave of my men to death, as is there duty, if it means even gaining an inch of ground in the name of the imperium and our god emperor”
My favorite story of Catachan is when it got invaded by Chaos. Orks got decimated, Chaos marines ripped apart, Eldar slaughtered and Tyranids turned past tense. Nothing but the near thermonuclear hellfire of virus bombs can curb Catachan's violence. _The only reason mountains exist on that God Emperor forsaken planet, is because the local wildlife doesn't deem them a threat._ Find me another planet that scares Orks. Good luck.
tyranids did not turned death we found brothers here.... YOU should leave the corpse emperor his slavery and join the one truth one mind Hive ...all for one one for all,
There's Ork living living on Catachan, it's just that the jungle regulate their number so they can't really get a waaagh going. The jungle fighter hunt them sometimes too.

@@matheusexpedito4577 Google "world's largest jungle". South America's Amazon Rain forest is the largest jungle in the world, and is so vast that it is 3 times larger than the second largest rain forest and still has un-contacted tribes of people still existing, and lots of dangerous wildlife. It is 3 times larger than the second largest rain forest in Africa's Congo and is responsible for processing the majority of global Co2. If this place had an Earth counterpart, it would be the jungles of South America, which are bigger than some countries and full of dangerous wildlife.

Don’t hold it against him. Warhammers lore may be expansive, but the galleries meant to hold art depicting that lore are rather bare. Catachan is a notable example; despite being extremely well known among the fan base, we have almost no official art depicting the planets surface.

@@VeyXronX nah bro, you're thinking of the Orks. They created the Krorks, which later deteriorated into the "present day" Orks. They used the Krorks and Aeldari to fight the Necrons/C'Tan. The Old Ones were residents of the Milky Way galaxy alone, the Tyranids are an extragalactic threat
Thank you for yet another amazing, thrilling video! You are quickly becoming my favourite channel! Keep up the great work! Already looking forward to the next one!
Australia does have a tree that would do the 40k verse proud. It's called the gympie gympie and you would do well to avoid any part of it. Even brushing a leaf lightly will leave you in such pain as you have never experienced.
An amazing video on the jungles of catachan. If you do age of sigmar videos I'd love orations on the destruction factions. Particularly the gloomspite gitz and the kruelboyz with their various troggoths or the sons of behemat and the varities of gargants.
7:49 As noted before, a hive fleet would be destroyed if certain bioforms were introduced. To stop the Tyranids, a weapon consisting of bioforms that use too much biomass would destroy the entire fleet. The alternative is obviously building ships specifically with reactors that are basically suicide ships. The unthinkable alternative is somehow pitting chaos directly against the Tyranids.
Indeed, never understood why the Nids are made out to be so dangerous. Of course if you're trying to fight them conventionally they would indeed be formidable, yet the ultramarines gave a template on how you can destroy them. Sacrifice a ship to drag the mother ship into the warp and done. Do this on the onset of invasion and at best you're left with mopping up the now psychically disrupted lifeforms that made it PlanetSide.
Love your work, please if you are able redo the video about plague planets that used to have the David Attenborough voice over. I don't know where it went but it was magnificent and miss it tremendously.
I like to think the only reason the Catachan's still thrive is that the planet kinda has a soft spot for them, like those birds that clean crocodile's teeth.
My lord the enemy is being led by chaos champions, a demon prince, and there are sightings of orks on the allspecs.. “No matter, drop off this shipping container onto the center mass of the enemies location. “ My lord? “It has things from Catachan in it, at least there was now there might be just A thing in there but it’ll do the job”.. sips tea
WOW. Nice background audio. Also, your voice is really good. Just to be nit-picky... the "H" is not silent You don't take cange from the tip jar, no matter how carming you may be. It's CA-TA-CHAN or CAT-A-CHAN.
Imagine being such a badass that you run around this place with no shirt on. Especially since at least a couple of the nasties referenced here could easily be defeated by wearing a shirt.
Hay here's an idea what happens when building a successor chapter out of these Catachan tribal individuals are recruited and turned into a space marine?
Oi, sorry but zoologist over here; the difference between poison and toxins is that poison is passive to prevent predation (like with toads) and venom is active for hunting prey. Usually, poison acts on a wide variety of organism, while venom tends to be more specific. Although most advanced venom's are neurotoxins and the central nervous system is such an old invention evolutionary, that all animals share the same building blocks. Invertebrates use the neurotransmitters in reverse, tho. On holy terra, that is. Anyway, carry on.
The 2021 book "Liber Xenologis" by Darius Hinks was the primary source. I added certain aspects of this from an old entomology textbook I had from uni though, so when I talk about forcipules, or some of the physiological features of them, that's taken from a chapter on real world centipede anatomy.
Your pretty close, actually, only the creatures on our planets are familiar to us......very familiar, just substantially larger. Dig and ye shall find.
The Tyranids were actually quite harmless and soft and fluffy and cuddly until they found the Catachan Devil. Tyranids absolutely just looked at that god-forsaken abomination, saw violence perfected, and copied its bio-template. ;)

Orks go toe-to-toe with Tyranids. Catachan would probably be survivable for them.
Snake Bites would probably view it as a Disney World.
There's Ork living living on Catachan, it's just that the jungle regulate their number so they can't really get a waaagh going.
The jungle fighter hunt them sometimes too.
I am not sure Orc spores need time to grow into an orcmand not been eaten. So depends on plot armour.

Ah Catachan ! The Emperor favorite Spring Break place 🙂
8:25 - great barking toad
Came for this part.. stayed for the whole lecture.
OMG, yes!!! More Catachan videos! I loved the conjecture where you mentioned that "Heretic" does not relate to Chaos.
They pronounce it Cat-uh-Chan in most british material
Well made! Thanks for uploading!
In Warhammer 40K even the jungle wants to kill you
'even' should read 'especially', surely.
The jungle wants to kill you in the real world too.
I could beat up that jungle. Easily.
@JohnsonPadder yeah irl jungle already deadly asf
The jungle is just trying to fit in!
One of my favorite lectures. Thanks, brother.
30ft long with a sting it can't attack with near its head. And big legs at the back so it's body can't follow where it's head has gone sounds great
I think fictuonal nature is peak.

Ork : "RUN ! GO ! GET ME DA CHOPPA !"
Scorpion-like arachnids resembling centipedes. That does not make sense
