'''{{PAGENAME}}''' are [[Aeldari]] who have fallen to [[Chaos]].{{Fn|1}} They are [[Mutants]],{{Fn|5}} monstrosities,{{Fn|4}} newly chaos-tainted{{Fn|8}} and the truly damned millennia-old survivors of the [[Fall of the Eldar#The Dying|Fall]]: the Renegade Eldar [[Chaos Champion]]s{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}.

==History==
[[Image:Czevak Atlas Infernal.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Bronislaw Czevak]] holds a monstrosity’s head aloft during the events of [[Atlas Infernal (Novel)|Atlas Infernal]]{{Fn|4}}]]


Most of the {{PAGENAME}} Chaotic Eldar now survive on the [[Crone Worlds]] in the [[Eye of Terror]]. [[Asuryani]] [[Ranger#Pathfinders|Rangers]] who venture into the Eye of Terror make dealings with the {{PAGENAME}} Chaotic Eldar for [[Spirit Stone]]s, [[Shuriken|Shuriken Casters]], and other artifacts of the [[Eldar Empire]]. Expeditions are made regularly to the [[Tyrakesh]] [[Archeomarket]] on [[Arach-Cyn]]{{Fn|4}}; [[Inquisitor]] [[Bronislaw Czevak]] has also had dealings at the market. Others survive throughout the [[Galaxy]] as isolated bands of chaos-devoted [[Eldar Corsairs|Pirates]].{{Fn|8}}{{Fn|10}}
There are unknowable varieties of {{PAGENAME}} Chaotic Eldar Mutants, but one stable ab-strain are the [[Shrieker (Eldar)|Shriekers]] of [[Belial IV]] which have taken on bat-like features{{Fn|5}}. [[Apothecary]] [[Arrian Zorzi]] described their genetic code as being degraded to the point of indecipherability{{Fn|5}}.
