'''Canoptek Wraiths''' are a type of [[Necron]] construct.
==Overview==
Canoptek Wraiths are the eyes and ears of the central operating systems of any [[Necron]] [[Tomb World]], patrolling for intruders and inspecting systems for damage and decay. {{Fn|1}} The Wraiths are primarily probe mechanoids, programmed to report back to their [[Canoptek Spyder]] controllers via interstitial interface, rather than to act under their own cognisance. When orders are received, the Wraith carries them out with unfaltering resolve. {{Fn|1}}
Its primary weapon is its dimensional destabilisation matrix - a phase shifter that allows it to skip in and out of reality, which was originally designed to allow a Canoptek Wraith to reach into and repair solid machinery, however it is as effective when dealing with intruders. A Canoptek Wraith can phase its claws and tendrils inside an opponent, and resolidify them to sever arteries, nerve clusters and other vital pathways without leaving an external mark.{{Fn|1}}
Once battle begins, Canoptek Wraiths are tasked with sowing terror and disorder among enemy ranks by striking at commanders, support troops, and supply lines.{{Fn|2}}
