Beastmen monstrous unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Silence & The Fury DLC. With the release of Thrones of Decay, they can also be recruited by

Description[ | ]
The Ghorgon devour all. Their endless hunger has twisted them with mutation, transforming them into savage, many-armed monstrosities, feasting on the flesh of enemy and ally alike. When capably channelled towards a common foe, the Ghorgon rampage through their ranks, brutally slaughtering their victims and consuming them whole. Their hunger however, is never sated. Should the well-spring of enemy flesh run dry, their ravenous focus is likely to shift, and those they once warred beside may soon become their next meal.
Attributes[ | ]
- Monster
- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- ▲ Anti-Large: Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
- ▲ Causes Terror: This unit can cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and fear themselves.

Strategy[ | ]
The Ghorgon has efficient attack stats as an armor-piercing anti-large monster. However, when dueling against other large SEM (single-entity monster) units, it has a tendency to get animation-locked falling down frequently due to lower mass. The best use for it may thus be to attack already-engaged monsters as a terror-causing heavy damage dealer, or else to attack lower mass large-class targets such as cavalry. It has the woodsman ability which can allow it to strip/escape other large units in the trees or attack them efficiently there.
