Some copy edit, add something from A Forbidden Meal (Short Story)
There are other variations, such as the smaller, flying [[Kroothawk]] (which is revered by Kroot as a possible evolutionary ancestor){{Fn|13b}} and the serpentine [[Krootworm]], as well as other, more terrifying creatures. Deep within the forests of Pech, there exist beasts that were once Kroot but have since descended hideous evolutionary paths to become monsters that feed on their own kind. Such places have become cursed and only the bravest or most foolhardy Kroot ever venture within their haunted depths.{{Cite This}}
*The [[T'au]], due to their role in saving the Kroot's homeworld of Pech from [[Ork]]s; consuming T'au flesh is a crime that brings swift and deadly retribution from the Shapers.{{Fn|6a}}
Kroot are able to "taste" the taint in the meat of dead [[Genestealer]] [[Genestealer Hybrid|hybrids]], even if the mutations are not visible.{{Fn|3a}} [[Purestrain]] Genestealers are particularly dangerous for Kroot to consume, as it reduces them to slaves of the [[Hivemind]]. In one instance, eating part of a Genestealer's head caused a Kroot to mutate rapidly into a berserk multi-limbed hybrid.{{Fn|30}}
They are unable to effectively shape the [[living metal]] of the [[Necron]]s, and doing so produces hideous effects as was demonstrated on [[Caroch]].{{Fn|10}}
====Green Kroot====
[[Kroot]] who have turned green, muscly and boisterous after eating eaten a fungal diet of [[Orks]]can turn green, muscly and boisterous.{{Fn|15}}
