→Ecology: Added information on the Prosperine Lynx
The psychneuein reproduced by implanting eggs into a host's brain psychically. An infected host would have no idea they'd been implanted until the eggs began to grow, causing severe pain and ultimately, death as the eggs hatched. On only one known occasion has a victim been successfully cured of the implanted psychic eggs. An archaeologist, living in Tizca, had been implanted while outside the city on a day trip. She later collapsed and was taken to a hospital where a team of highly skilled Thousand Sons Astartes were able to use their powers to remove the eggs from her brain in a form of psychic surgery.{{Fn|2}}
[[Prosperine Lynx|Prosperine Lynxes]], another native species of fauna, were driven extinct by the [[Burning of Prospero]]. More akin to a saber-toothed cat than a Terran lynx in appearance, these large felines were speckle-striped, hugely muscular, and stood chest-high to an [[Space Marine|Astartes]].{{Fn|9}}
