[[Image:Servo-skull.jpg|thumb|right|A Servo-skull]]
'''Servo-skulls''' are drone-like devices fashioned from [[human]] skulls - – often those of pious [[Imperial]] servants, low-ranking [[tech-adept]]s, or loyal adepts of the [[Adeptus Terra]] - – and then given a rudimentary [[Machine spirit]], support systems, and anti-gravity engine to allow them to hover and drift bodiless through the air.{{Fn|1}} Presumably this chance to continue their work even after death is a great honour in the Imperium.
==Overview==
The roles they fulfill include [[Librarium]] functionaries, medical assistants, lumen-bearers, proclaimers or scroll-carriers. Some are designed for military roles, and among these some are built with enhanced optical sensors to allow them to fulfill a scouting role.{{Fn|1}}
They are also often used by [[Inquisitor]]s as [[Familiar]]s. In this case they are often mentally linked to the Inquisitor, allowing him to control them and see and hear through their senses. In general, Servo-skulls are useful for their ability to enter otherwise inaccessible or hazardous areas because of their small size and great maneuverability.{{Fn|1}}
==Servo-skull patterns==
===Aggression Enhancer Servo-skull===
'''Aggression Enhancer Servo-skulls''' are used by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] and are equipped with binharic speakers. They constantly blurt out the [[Omnissiah]]'s benedictions to smite the unworthunworthy, and use [[Beta-wave generator]]s that stimulate the aggression centres of biological and cybernetic minds alike.{{Fn|4}}
===Data Skull===
====Illuminator-Skull====
The '''Illuminator-Skull''' is used for illumination and mounts a lamp-pack, aglowa glow-globe or just a burning brazier of coals, especially if the skull is operated by the [[Ecclesiarchy]].{{Fn|18b}}
====Loud Hailer-Skull====
===Vox Skull===
''Vox Skulls'' are Servo-skulls that are equipped with [[Vox]]ses.
===Watch-skull===
