→Overview
One thing that is known about the Mandrakes is their lethality. Even the brutal denizens of [[Commorragh]] fear these creatures. Younger Dark Eldar call Mandrakes "creepers", whispering that they can slink from one shadow and to another. They strike from the shadows, surprising and rending their enemies apart with [[Glimmersteel Blade]]s, with strength more often associated with [[Ork]]s, rather than the [[Eldar]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} These weapons, and an assortment of other hooked blades wielded by Mandrakes, are used to extract the maximum amount of pain from their foes, who are not immediately consumed by the Mandrakes' eerie flames.{{Fn|8}}
'''Shadeweavers''' are Mandrakes, whose command over darkness is second to none and lights will fade in their presence. This will cloak a battlefield in shadows so complete, that Mandrakes can bore tunnels through the very fabric of reality and emerge within striking distance of their foes. After they strike, the Mandrakes can then flit away like wisps of smoke.{{Fn|8}}
