The '''Cythor Fiends''' were a mysterious [[Xenos]] race previously inhabiting the [[Ghoul Stars]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
Cythor Fiends were seen as vicious creatures by the [[Imperium]], and every probe or scout team sent into their territory never returned. In late [[M41]], the race was largely exterminated by the [[Black Templars]] in the [[Ghoul Stars Crusade]], with only their homeworld remaining outside Imperial hands. However, when the Black Templars arrived at their homeworld, they found it completely empty and vacant of any Cythor presence. What exactly happened to the race remains a mystery.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|Note 1}}
The Cythors had spindly limbs and vile faces, elongated and inhuman. They lived in the fortresses with sheer walls of glimmering crystal and used some uncanny weapons.{{Fn|2}} Cythor Fiends use small silver discs that when activated causes them to shatter apart and reform into deadly crystals that quickly slash the throats of their victims. These mobile crystals can become quite small, and seemingly possess the essence of the Fiend.{{Fn|3}}
==Notes==
*{{Endn|Note 1}}: According to the latest data [[Rogue Trader]] [[Janus Draik]] saw one of the {{PAGENAME}}s on the [[Blackstone Fortress]] located in the [[Segmentum Pacificus]]. Draik also stated that according to the information from the [[Aeldari]] texts, {{PAGENAME}}s managed to 'evade' the extermination due to using of their own advanced technologies.{{Fn|3}}
