The Mon-keigh are mythical creatures in Eldar legend: a race of cannibalistic, misshapen, sub-intelligent beasts from "Twilight Realm of Koldo" which invaded Eldar lands in Ancient History and subjugated the Eldar.[1] The Eldar hero Elronhir is celebrated for having cleansed all of the mon-keigh from the galaxy.[1]
The term "mon-keigh" has been generalized in the Eldar Language to mean any non-Eldar species which is deemed inferior and in need of extermination – in this capacity its most common use is for Humans[1]
