Psykanarium Psi-Hounds are Psyker bounty hunters, that are created and controlled by the Psykanarium breeding program, that was created by Necromunda's Planetary Governor, Lord Helmawr.[1]

As a result of inbreeding from the fractured genus of dozens of psyker bloodlines, the Psykanarium has created numerous horrifying, yet potent psychic weapons. However, only the most gifted and stable are kept to be used by Lord Helmawr and his favoured servants - the rest are either destroyed or shipped off-world to serve the Imperium. To ensure the Psi-Hounds remain under control, they are implanted with psychic enhancing neural-crowns, which keep them docile and are also further controlled by coded auditory and olfactory triggers. These allow the Psi-Hounds' masters to direct the psykers with a word or set them upon the scent of prey that needs to be destroyed.[1]

The Psykanarium also accepts psykers that are brought to them, who were either captured or willing handed over by family members for a reward. Those psykers whose powers leave them of little worth to the Imperium, are employed by the Psykanarium as Bounty Hunters as well - after they have been heavily modified to increase their powers and to ensure the Psykers always obey their masters.[2]
