Lhykhis, the Whispering Web, is an Eldar Phoenix Lord and the founder of the Warp Spider Aspect.^[1]

History

Lhykhis has been rarely seen in the 41st Millennium, leading many Imperial scholars to consider her apocryphal. At one point, she had been absent for so long that even the Eldar believed her lost. More recently, however, Lhykhis has returned, becoming one of the more active Phoenix Lords and traveling the galaxy to defend her people.^[2]

She embodies the Eldar god Khaine's willingness to risk everything for victory and is considered to be a daredevil, even amongst her fellow Phoenix Lords. A master of the combat style of her Aspect, she specializes in ambushes and swift, sudden assaults.^[2] Despite the dangers of these attacks, Lhykhis is known for repeatedly plunging into the Warp without fear and uses her keen eye for navigation to go farther and more accurately than even the most ancient Warp Spider Exarchs. When the Eldar need her, though, Lhykhis emerges from the Warp to save them from doom, with her unique four-armed Aspect Armour, twin Death Spinners known as Brood Twain, twin monofilament injectors dubbed the Spider's Fangs, and the sword Vhattarkan, a.k.a. Weaverender.^[1][2]
