Phycene Skur
The Phycene Skur are said to be a sentient Xenos species, who have humanoid upper bodies and serpentine tails. However there is some doubt, as to whether the species truly exists.[1]
The Imperium's only known encounter with the Skur occurred, when they invaded Salhad and began butchering its nomad population. The nomads described the Xenos as having descended upon Salhad, while being bathed in holy light and that they were beautiful and wore dazzling mirrored armor. The Skur are said to have fed hungrily on the slain nomads' intestines and when wounded they leaked flames instead of blood. However the Rogue Trader and Xenologist Janus Draik, has done research on the Skur, which led him to believe they do not exist. This is because Salhad's nomads indulge in week-long fasts and mainly ingest hallucinogens when they do eat. After learning this, Draik wondered how the nomads' claims were ever taken seriously and he has declared the Skur to be nothing more than a fantasy.[1]
