	In a weird twist, Hrud are both technologically advanced and technologically backwards. While the average Hrud is covered in rags, and would rather hide in a dark corner than build a house, the Hrud race are fantastic at reverse-engineering and scavenging. Unlike the Orks, who can durr and hurr their way to a [[Plasma Cannon]], Hrud ''actually know how things work.'' That's more than can be said of even the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. Due to the lack of ammunition and repair facilities, the Hrud usually end up wielding whatever weapon they stole fused with their own technology (which looks more industrial, ancient and slimy than a [[Forge World]])		In a weird twist, Hrud are both technologically advanced and technologically backwards.

	When they don't want to steal something, they use what are called '''Fusils'''(French for rifle), which are warp-plasma muskets. The plasma moves between the Warp and realspace to bypass armor and shields. This same technology was used to make Warp Cores used by the [[squats]]. When the Mechanicus tried to tinker with the same technology, they '''DATA EXPUNGED''' a whole moon and ''REDACTED'' had to get called in to clean up the mess([[Ganymede]]). [[Inquisitor]] [[Kryptman]] claimed that Hrud Fusils are a synthesis of Melta and Plasma technologies and use a lance-like beam to chew through armor, but he might have mistook another Hrud weapon for the Fusil.

The '''Hrud''' (''Troglydium hrudii'') are a race as old as, if not older than, humanity itself. They were a creation taken over from the old [[Rogue Trader]] days and into modern [[Warhammer 40,000]].

	Initially, they were the Space [[Skaven]], and garnered little attention. Then along came [[Xenology]], an out-of-print [[Black Library]] book which detailed the findings of an Inquisitor on his pan-galactic, [[Heresy\|semi-heretical]] travels to understand what makes aliens tick; mostly by probing, disemboweling, dissecting, and doing generic alien-abduction-type things to random xenos scum. In his travels, he encountered the Hrud, a jellyfish-like race of decaying spine-creatures, and that is how GW sees them now. The Hrud managed to avoid the axe, and skirted the edges of unpopularity to such an extent that GW actually gave them a face-lift as 40k became less [[Warhammer Fantasy]] in space and more [[grimdark]], unlike their long-lost brethren the [[Squats\|Squa-]] {{BLAM}} {{Blam\|~~They~~ are the [[Leagues of Votann]] now!}}		Initially, they were the Space [[Skaven]], and garnered little attention.

	Now, if only GW could get off its ass and make an army for them.

	The Hrud are very vulnerable to one of the newer threats to the galaxy: [[genestealer]] cults. Familial structure, parasitism, communal living, and hiding in the shadows are all seized upon traits for the cults. As a result, genestealers have begun to integrate increased natural stealth, and even shadow-warping, taken from Hrud DNA.

	A sneak peak of the 9th Edition Rule Book also mentions a conflict in the Laeviner Archipelago between an [[Eldar]] alliance against [[Hive Fleet Ouroboris]]. Why do the Eldar care so much a bout a tiny chunk of space? Because its home to what the Eldar call 'Those Who Evade the Crone', a race of xenos whose ~~genitic~~ make up causes an entropy field. Sound familiar? Obviously if the Tyranids get their hands on this genetic makeup it would be [[Rape\| bad to say the least]]. The Eldar have also supposedly been culling 'Those Who Evade the Crone' so that they don't spread out of the Laeviner Archipelago, which could explain why we've heard so little of the Hrud.

	Being near the Hrud is a thoroughly unpleasant experience, as they have an entropic field which will [[Nurgle\|age, decay, and pretty much wreck all nice things]] within the vicinity at an accelerated rate. Hrud can extrude a wide multitude of poisons from their bodies, and this eventually becomes a prevalent fog in the air of Hrud-infested areas. It has been incidentally mentioned that Rogue Traders and various shady individuals, even inquisitors, have been known to gather these poisons for their own use, which trade is of course insanely dangerous and highly illegal by the standards of the Imperium. For humans who grow up in or near these places, these poisons will become adapted to, and eventually create a chemical dependency. Said humans will suffer withdrawal if deprived. If a Hrud is killed, its body will rapidly liquify, making dissection and study difficult, at best.

	Things get really weird when you learn that they aren't migrating through space, they're migrating through '''time'''. So it's entirely possible that all the Hrud encountered are the same individuals manifesting in different time periods (and incidentally may actually be heavily degenerated humans). This also means they don't exactly die since they exist at several points in time at once. "Kill" one, and it'll continue to exist in the past and future like nothing happened.

	It's anyone's guess as to whether they're migrating forwards or backwards, though - even the Black Library authors who came up with the fluff confirming all this can't agree (maybe they themselves don't know and wander back and forth in search of desired period, or different collectives have conflicting views on it).
