Phylactery
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Phylacteries are pieces of equipment used by Necrons. Only Necron Lords may take these devices.[1]
Each Phylactery is a small item containing small, spider-like creatures with powerful repair capabilities. If the Necron Lord has received significant damage, the creatures swarm over the Lord's body, re-knitting his frame, allowing the Lord to continue the fight.[1]
Notes
The small creatures may be Canoptek constructs related to Scarabs and/or Tomb Spyders.
