Spine Crystals

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Found at the edges of effluent pools, discharge outlets or any other place where pollutants are allowed to accumulate over an extended period of time, Spine Crystals are not in fact plants, but rather mineral growths. Similar to coral, they are made of densely packed crystals which while brittle, are razor sharp.[1]

Anyone foolish enough or lost enough to find themselves in a growth of Spine Crystals will quickly regret it, as the splintered edges open thousands of tiny and extremely painful cuts. The greatest danger comes from the toxins and corrosive chemicals from which the crystals grow, and is passed into the wounds, turning the smallest scratch into a festering sore that can lead to death if untreated.[1]
