Editing Lacrymole (section)

==Biology==
Trying to know the shape of a shapeshifter is a rather futile endeavor in most cases, although in the few representations GW has published over the years they appear as humanoid-like, with an amphibian-like skin and bug eyes. There are theories that suggest that the lacrymoles DON'T have a true form, but instead are a mass of flesh and appendages until they take someone else's form. It is believed they live hidden in Imperial spacecraft in human form (after all, humans are the species who almost got them extinct, and are one of the most abundant prey around without the pesky psychic problems of the [[Eldar]] or the body harm risks with the [[Orks]]). They are a carnivorous species, more specifically haematophages, blood eaters. Like giant mosquitoes, they need to drink considerable amounts of blood to survive, and thus usually live alone or in very small colonies hidden in other species' populations. These parasites attack the parasited species, and after drinking their blood, they are able to turn into whoever they drank from, taking their place in society.
