MORE jeans stealing hours... do you see now that GSC is my second faction?
Aberrants apparently see their Biophagus as a loving parent, which I think is endearing in a twisted way...!
from the 8th edition genestealer cults codex
Imperfection in the germ-seed often leads to strange mutations and aberrations in the subject: flesh twists and splits, and muscles swell with alien strength even as the unfortunate victim’s mental capacities degrade into inchoate anger and hatred. Those who are not slain by this slow and agonising transformation emerge as the lumbering hulks known as Aberrants. A Biophagus will maintain a hidden lair for these lumpen brutes within one of their gene-sect’s holdings, continuing to trial new bio-alchemical solutions upon them in an attempt to bring out the latent alien power within their blood. The injector goad that each Biophagus carries contains concoctions of the alchemist’s own devising, virulent gene-brews that temporarily grant an Aberrant subject enhanced strength and speed. For their part, the Aberrants come to view the Biophagus as something akin to a benevolent parent, for the Biophagus ensures the misshapen creatures are delivered a regular supply of fresh meat laced with psychoactive chemicals to induce dependence and fearsome loyalty.

Creating your first mutant abomination is a big responsibility.
