[[File:Astral Spectre - 1st Ed.png|thumb|An Astral Spectre.]]
Astral Spectres are warp creatures formed from psychic energy and the fabric of the [[Empyrean]],{{Fn|1}} and created by the foolhardy actions of an untrained [[psyker]]. They feed off soul-essence, requiring a constant supply of warp energy to survive.{{Cite this}}
Spectres vary in appearance, but all retain the same basic form. Each is a vaguely humanoid figure, composed of semi-translucent shadow. They are uniformly vile and horrifying to behold, and their mere presence unnerves nearby creatures.{{Cite this}}
While the natural form of a Spectre is incorporeal, they are able to possess the bodies of intelligent beings. They feed off the soul of their host, leaving them as a mindless husk, and absorb some of their host's memories, which the Spectre uses to maintain a façade of normality.{{Fn|1}}
