In the shadowy corners of the galaxy, the Imperium's attention is often drawn not just to the great threats of Tyranids, Orks, or Aeldari, but to the strange and lesser-known xenos that lurk in its periphery. The Loxatl, reptilian and amphibious mercenaries, are infamous for their alliance with the heretical forces of Chaos—slimy, quick, and impossible to detect by standard auspex due to their unique organic composition. Then there are the Medusae, nightmarish symbiotes that float alongside the Drukhari, their psychic emissions feeding off pain and suffering. Though small, these creatures are potent sources of agony-fueled power, often kept as living trophies by sadistic Archons. And finally, the Megarachnid, arachnid-like horrors from the deadly world of Murder—ancient and territorial, these xenos once posed a threat even to the Great Crusade’s mightiest warriors. Though believed extinct, the memory of their savage defense still haunts the annals of Imperial history. These minor xenos may not threaten the Imperium alone, but in the right place, at the wrong time, each is more than capable of turning a battlefield into a blood-soaked ruin.
