Scaephylyd

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

The Scaephylyds are an insectoid race which dwell upon the Daemon World of Draakasi.

Physiology

Scaephylyds have many limbs and an insectoid carapace. They have mandibles and many eyes. They are upright, with a human-like torso and can grow to great sizes as they age.

History

Scaephylyds appear to be the indigenous inhabitants of Draakasi. When humans arrived on the planet the Scaephylyds either went into hiding or were enslaved. At some point the human champion of Khorne Venalitor rallied the Xenos to his banner and introduced them to the worship of the Skull Throne. The Scaephylyds are now Venalitor's willing slaves and serve him in any way he sees fit.

Society

Little is told of Scaephylyd society. It is known that they were divided into clans and that they have little shame and are quite willing to beg and serve without complaint. Once they were introduced to the worship of Khorne they became perfectly willing to throw wave after wave of their own at the enemy for no other purpose than to please Khorne.

Technology

There is no indication of any actual Scaephylyd technology or advanced weaponry. However, a bladed weapon is attached to the forearms which acts like a pair of shears.
