==Biology== ===Physical Appearance=== The Cyfecti are bipedal beings, with two torso's, four arms, a long tail, and clawed felinid-type feet. They have pale grey skin, often adorned with colourful body paints denoting their pseudo-religious teachings and mantras, as well as intricate patterns. Their second torso extends out from between the shoulders of the first, giving them their characteristic ~12 foot height. Their hands are similar to that of standard humanoids, but longer and thinner, ending in small talons instead of nails. Their skin is pale and leathery, being notably much more dense and thicker than usual for humanoids, giving the Cyfecti a surprising durability to tissue damage and shallow cuts. Their muscle mass is presumed to be similarly of increased density, not unlike an Orkoids; The Cyfecti seem to be far stronger than their appearance would suggest, the typical Cyfecti closer in strength to a space marine than a normal human, despite the Cyfecti having no bio-genetic capabilities. The Cyfecti also have chitinous outgrowths, protecting both of their chests and backs, their joints, and neck. Curiously, their head has no such outgrowths. The chitin has been observed to withstand edge weaponry with great effect, but provides little protection against conventional projectile firearms. However, lasguns require a high-charge to penetrate through both the chitin and the Cyfecti's flesh. The Cyfecti most commonly wear colourful loose fitting clothing, the most common being robes and cloaks, but a wide variety of other clothing has been observed. Surprisingly however, they wear little armour, that usually being just shin and forearm armour. They do possess shields in great number though, and have been observed to wear strange semi-armoured, psuedo-religious masks in the image of various known and unknown non-sentient creatures. ===Physiology=== Little is known of their physiology as no intact specimen has ever been retrieved to date, as upon the death of their brain the body bizarrely explodes in a cloud of plasma dust. While non-lethal, the plasma dust-cloud is dangerous due to its toxicity, but is generally diffuse enough in a ventilated area to only cause severe irritation if inhaled. Also unexplained is the small crystal-like stone that appears in the same process that creates the plasma dust cloud. This is believed to be due to obscure rituals that bind the physical body of a Cyfecti specimen to the warp somehow. This means everything we do know is based on inductive and deductive reasoning derived from conjecture and observation, or from documentation from other xenos races, such as the Eldar. The Cyfecti appear to naturally possess very high-level Psyker powers, with some individual Cyfecti believed to have powers that exceed Imperial psy-level classifications. Presumably, their corruption by the Ruinous Powers has increased these levels beyond their natural limits, and it is perhaps then fortunate that so few Cyfecti existed during the Heresy, and even fewer exist now.
