The Nicassar are highly psychic. Because of this, the Tau have carefully kept them hidden from the [[Imperium]] for fear of igniting the worst excesses of [[human]] xenophobia.{{Fn|1}}
Physically, Nicassars have ivory hair-quills and stubby, clawed limbs. They possess no eyes, instead sensing their surroundings with psychic abilities generated by glands in their avian skulls.{{Fn|12}}{{Fn|3}}
When communicating with Tau, a Nicassar always floats in a special healsphere.{{Fn|2}} They are described as having limited mobility and being unfit for ground combat, and so further the [[Greater Good]] by providing ships for the Tau fleet, especially for the roles of scouting and exploring.{{Fn|1}} The Nicassar are driven by an insatiable curiosity to explore and travel, becoming semi-nomadic and most content when traveling. They are able to place themselves into a state of hibernation, allowing them to survive for long periods.{{Fn|1}}
