Near the end of the [[Great Crusade]], the Luna Wolves pacified a planet catalogued as 63-19, known to its inhabitants as Terra. In the final stages of compliance, a Luna Wolves speartip went into the Whisperhead Mountains to eliminate a rogue force loyal to the planet's slain emperor. During the descent, the drop ships picked up a transmission that appeared intended to scare them, a repeating whisper of the following:

''"Samus. That's the only name you'll hear. Samus. It means the end and the death. Samus. I am Samus. Samus is all around you. Samus is the man beside you. Samus will gnaw on your bones. Look out! Samus is here."''

Then the Legionary Xayver Jubal succumbed to Samus's corruption and it possessed him, using him to attack the speartip. After a concerted effort, Garviel Loken killed the mutated Jubal and had his warped body destroyed. [[Horus]] ordered the suppression of the records of the encounter, especially Jubal's corruption, and denied that "Samus" was anything supernatural. {{BLAM|Horus is a traitor to mankind, and any reports of the Adeptus Astartes succumbing to Chaos are clearly lies and propaganda. --Commissar Rosethorn}}

Samus becomes a recurring character in the ''Horus Heresy'' series. He is summoned by various traitor forces into various corpses at key battles like [[Battle of Calth|Calth]] and the [[Siege of Terra]], and proceeds to die in every one of these appearances. Forge World gave him a model called "[https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Samus-Daemon-Prince-of-the-Ruinstorm Samus, Daemon Prince of the Ruinstorm]." Apparently he is a daemon prince of the Ruinstorm and may have killed Dorn had the duel continued any longer. Though the only one to make that claim was Samus himself, so it's hard to take that boast seriously. 

Upon attempting to fight Metroid's Samus for the right to be the one true Samus, the Daemon Prince was promptly pile driven and then drop kicked so hard he has yet to do anything of importance since the Horus Heresy.

===Samus Aran===
The hunter Samus Aran is indoctrinated by the Chozo (and then given Chozo genes at the age of three, and given that she lacks feathers, a beak, or talons they probably gave her the "latent psychic and superhumanly strong and fast" genes and not the "bird people" ones.) and (as of Metroid Fusion) part-Metroid, which does not endear her to Imperial authorities, but her power suit has massive [[pauldrons]] that demand respect, and would put a [[Space Marine]] to shame. For this reason, not to mention her status as a one-woman [[Exterminatus]], Samus is sometimes portrayed as a [[Primarch]] of a legion of [[Female Space Marines]]. It's said that the Space Pirate xenos describe the hunter Samus Aran to each other with the same chant as the aforementioned warp-entity: "Samus; it means the end and the death. Samus is all around you. Samus will gnaw on your bones..." She also possesses a righteous hatred for the space pirates, who are responsible for her orphaning and loss of a homeworld, twice, once for her birthworld and parents on K-2L, and again for her adoptive Chozo parents and world on Zebes. The pirates even fear to mention her name just calling her the Hunter, treating her as if she were some kind of supernatural spirit of vengeance more than a person.
