As the Imperial pejorative of Squat suggests, Kin are short and stout humanoids who nonetheless are strong, sturdy, and resilient. This is thanks to genetic templates dubbed [[Cloneskein]]s, which have granted the Kin a variety of physical land spiritual abilities. Kin also have higher red and white blood cell counts, and formidable strength and resilience. Other Cloneskeins cloneskeins impart enhanced reaction times, infa-red infrared vision, or limited resistance to extreme temperatures, gravity, and radiation. Many Cloneskeins cloneskeins manifest physically, whether it be unusually colored eyes or skin, craggy subdermal layers, chemical body odors, or various other giveaways.{{Fn|1b}} New Kin are spawned in cloning vats dubbed [[Crucible (Leagues of Votann)|Crucible]]s, already emerging mostly grown and mentally developed with their base level of knowledge for their tasks ahead.{{Fn|4}}
Kin souls shine dimly within the [[Warp]], giving them a natural advantage in resisting the powers of [[Chaos]]. Thus While there are no true [[Psykerpsyker]]s within Kin kin societybased on psychoactive [[cloneskein]]s, but they have developed [[Barrier-Tech]] in order to utilize their relatively limited warp-based abilities.{{Fn|1b}}[[Imagefile:Ironhead Squat Prospector.jpg|thumb|right|220px|A Kin of the [[Necromunda (Planet)|Necromunda]] [[Ironhead Prospector]]s{{Fn|6a}}]]
When a Kin dies, their physical remains usually are sent to rejoin their [[Ancestor Core]], which absorbs their accumulated neural information gathered over their lifetime. These are viewed as highly sacred offerings, and all Kin hope to one day have their absorbed knowledge prove useful to their Votann. This is a major motivation for Kin to journey out beyond the Core, in order to discover new things that one day can be assimilated by their Ancestor Core.{{Fn|1c}}
