=="Biology"== [[File:Rogue Trader Enslaver.jpg|thumb|200px|right|A [[Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader|Rogue Trader]] era Enslaver.]] Now, the first and most important thing to discuss regarding the Enslavers' biology is to know whether they are daemons or not. Considering their nature, composition, behaviour, feeding habits and common habitats... we don't know. Really, if they are daemons, they share so many characteristics with regular organisms we could be forgiven to think of them as living beings, and vice versa. Both the [[Ordo Xenos]] and [[Ordo Malleus]] keep track of these things, just in case the other is wrong. At the very least we know they are older than [[Chaos]], so they at least don't work alongside the Ruinous Powers (after all, if all the believers are eaten, there is no more emotion, and more importantly, no worship, so they would <s>go kaput</s> be weakened to such an extent that they would lose most of their agency, and eventually lose both their very sapience and sentience, as they'd only exist on aspects of reality such as change<s>, anarchy,</s> and decay...so [[Slaanesh]] would die... itβs not worth it). They may as well be the equivalent of Tyranids for the Warp, a menace that came from outside the Immaterium (or at the very least a region of the Immaterium corresponding to another galaxy) to feed upon it, in which case, that's another apocalyptic threat the galaxy has to deal with. Great. The biggest point of evidence that points to them being biological xenos of some kind is the corpse kept by Trazyn since Daemons don't ''typically'' leave corpses, they usually just return to the Warp when 'killed'. Although this too is far from certain due to the sheer, unmatched levels of power even just standard-fare Necron-tech can unleash, and which has been well-documented to be more than capable of utterly upending Warp-fuckery with the [[Awesome|power of science]]. So who the fuck knows. Physiology-wise they take a number of forms, but the most common aspect is something akin to a mix between a flea, a jellyfish and an octopus, all bloated into ridiculous proportions (The swollen area speculated to be something akin to that of a stomach, where all of the psychic energy and souls are stored). They move by floating in the air, probably using their psychic powers to levitate. They use their numerous tendrils to search for and feed upon the souls of the living, in particular psykers. Once found, they nail their tendrils inside of the victim's brain and start sucking out the poor sod's soul, [[grimdark|while simultaneously turning it into a drooling slave, ready to fight for the Enslavers]], defeating potential threats and searching for more prey. Once the victim is more or less done, they will put their eggs inside the target's brain, only for them to hatch a year or so later, [[grimdark|making its head explode into more Enslavers]]. Suffice to say, if this process is not stopped immediately, an Enslaver infestation can destroy planets in a matter of decades, though they will try to be as stealthy as possible. And by the way, ''we don't even know whether they are a sapient species or not'', so this behavior might be instinctual or just a plan hatched with the borrowed intelligence of their host. Again, very little information for us to just corroborate anything major. If the Enslavers can't get any food, they will either return to the Warp or starve to death.
