The Yellow Weasel Was Always Acting

The essential difference between humans and animals is that humans can utilize tools and rely on wisdom to solve problems, rather than mindlessly brute-forcing their way through.

Just as the Dark Eldar were unsure of the enemy's true strength, Hogg, who was being focused by the warships, felt a sense of trepidation. Although he appeared unscathed, only he knew the truth of his own condition.

Don't let Hogg's flashy display of destroying a warship with one move fool you; it was entirely for show. The maneuver looked intimidating, but that round of concentrated fire consumed most of his flesh reserves, and his energy pool plummeted by one-fifth. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to call upon the Swarm to replenish himself.

Hogg was completely unfazed by physical damage and could withstand lances—the energy weapons—but the problem was that these Dark Eldar had no sense of honor and actually deployed anti-matter weapons.

For Hogg, who was essentially a mass of twisted flesh, he had no inherent weaknesses on a conventional battlefield. Even when facing a Chaos God, he could put up a fight thanks to his "cockroach" ability to never stay dead.
