Saruthi
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Saruthi are an Xeno/alien race. They have no optical or auditory functions (i.e.: no eyes and ears) but their sense of smell and taste are much more developed than human standards.
They had an ancient and small empire of about forty worlds, until Human refugees offered them the Necroteuch, a Chaotic tome. The knowledge contained within corrupted them utterly. The knowledge entered into their souls and minds, and entering even into their genetic code. A civil war engulfed their empire, leading to abandoment of many outposts and colonies. Their empire shrank immensly.
