According to [[Eldar mythology]], [[Banshee]]s are the harbingers of woe and death whose cry, it is said, heralds ill fate, calling forth dead spirits from the [[Warp]] and forewarning certain death. A more sinister implication of the banshee's call is that it may even tempt spirits out from their [[Spirit Stone]] and thus lure them into the arms of [[Chaos]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2}} Unique to the Howling Banshees is the fact that they are almost always female,{{Fn|Note 2}} for the banshee of legend is itself a female spirit.{{Fn|1a}}
