Sons of the Hydra: moving advisors to Trivia section; expanding strategic flexibility from source
The Morralian Deathsworn have been known to fight for the [[Tau]]. They formed part of the [[D'yanoi]] Sept's [[Be'etar]] Expeditionary Force, as part of its Auxiliary Reserve Despatch, alongside [[Kroot]] [[Carnivore Kindred|Carnivores]], [[Vespid]] Stingwings, and [[Hrenian]] Light Infantry.{{Fn|2}}
The Deathsworn also fought as part of the xenos mercenaries of the [[Alpha Legion]]'s [[Sons of the Hydra]] in their campaign to eradicate the [[Ultramarines]]' [[Successor Chapters]] guarding the rimward edge of the [[Maelstrom]] in late [[M41]].{{Fn|1a}} They took part in the successful ground assault against the [[Marines Mordant]]'s [[Fortress-Monastery]] the [[Bas-Silica]] on [[Vitrea Mundi]].{{Fn|1a}} Here they fought alongside the [[Tarellian]]s, [[Galg]]s, [[Fra'al]], [[Sslyth]], and [[Eldar Outcast]]s, and were united with them by a shared seething hatred of humanity.{{Fn|1a}} The use of different species' was chosen to provide maximum strategic flexibility, and their extremely varied combat styles made them very difficult for even the Marines' [[Veteran Squad (Space Marines)|Veterans]] to defend against.{{Fn|1b1a}} During the campaign, Morralians may also have been among the xenos that Sons of the Hydra leader [[Quetzel Carthach]] kept in his close circle of advisors.{{Fn|1a1b}}
== Physiology ==
Morralian younglings have soft flesh that the [[Dark Eldar]] are known to use, taking the flesh from several younglings to make dark, supple robes.{{Fn|3}}
==Trivia==
{{trivia}}
In ''[[Sons of the Hydra (Novel)|Sons of the Hydra]]'', [[Quetzel Carthach]] was said to have included xenos in his close circle of advisors.{{Fn|1a}} While [[Omizhar Vohk]] is the only confirmed advisor, Morralians or members of the other xenos mercenaries Carthach used may have been included among them.
