Felinid
Felinids (Homo sapiens hirsutus), are a recognized strain of abhuman within the Imperium. They are primarily known as being native to the world of Carlos McConnell.[1] Considered a rarity outside their world, few have seen them, and there are known con men who sell supposed felinid remains which turn out to be human carcasses stitched with animal skins.[2]
Xenologist Janus Draik recorded a discussion with Kroot Mercenary Dahyak Grekh in which the Kroot described felinids as cool in the face of the most brutal opposition and as some of the most efficient killers in an Astra Militarum regiment. However, he ultimately found it difficult to distinguish one human from another, and as such, felinids, to Kroot eyes, looked no different from the rest of humanity. At the mention of felinids possessing claws the length of a human forearm, the interviewer disregarded the whole statement as coming from an unreliable source.[2]
As of the Era Indomitus, Interrogator Iven Rannick in a discussion with his comrades regarding abhumans, mentions they are "very rare" though he desired to see one:
"I think I'd like to see a Felinid, but they're very rare."
