*[[Psycharus Worm]] is a [[Halo Device]] resembling a brass grub, however when exposed to a source of warp energies it animates and exhibits terrible intelligence, alongside the power to animate the dead and use them as its puppets. When exposed to a Navigator it instantly jumps towards their warp eye, in return for opening the warp gate, granting them its power and dark alien murderous desires.{{Fn|37a}}
*Even if considered one of the few creatures in the known universe able to stand against influence of the warp with some surety, Navigators are nonetheless still touchable by chaos, and to shield themselves from it they are known to acquire Eldar [[Dreamstone]]s, which above that help alleviate nightmares that can plague some Navigators after their shift of work.{{Fn|46}}
