'''Ur-Ghuls''' (''Ghala Troglodytestroglodytes''){{Fn|3}} are a [[Xenos]] species that are native to the labyrinth ziggurats of the [[Dark Eldar]] city of [[Shaa-dom]]. {{Cite This}}
==Overview==Described as humanoid, yet grotesquely hunched and cadaverous like flayed, reanimated corpses. They are preternaturally strong. They are blind; in place of eyes they have multiple olfactory orifices which they use to track their prey across great distances.{{Fn|3}} Their nature means that they are one of the many atavistic beings that can be recruited by an [[Archon]] for his or her court. These creatures are noted for being the most hideous of all the creatures that a Dark Eldar Archon can summon. Being sightless, yet quite agile, their tracking abilities are quite renowned and once a prey has been caught by the beast's quivering scent-pits, it is known that nothing is able to escape these whip-thin horrors. {{Cite This}} Ur-Ghuls are also known to inhabit [[Blackstone Fortress]]es.{{Fn|3}}
Ur-Ghul migrations are periodically purged by the [[Deathwatch]], most notably one led by the [[Dreadnought]] [[Xenomortis]] on [[Plenitia]].{{Fn|2}}
