In 36th millennium librariums couldn't provide much information about that mysterious beast, extinct more than 30 millenniums ago. Archeologists claimed that it was a bird of prey, known for its fury. They said that if woodpecker couldn't find any prey, it gone frenzy and attacked trees or other static objects. Image of this creature and its savage behavior had a great influence on the chapter. Blood woodpeckers are masters of fast attacks and aggressive warfare. 8 out from 11 chapter's companies are equipped with jump packs, mk6 armor (including reinforced helmets) and specialize in close combat.
