	Nightsiders (''Homo sapiens tenebris''; tenebris meaning dark, gloomy or obscure) are [[Abhuman\|Abhumans]] who live out their lives in near or complete darkness on worlds that either are so far from their primary star that little or no light is shed or planets that do not rotate and so one side is always facing away from the sun. Nightsiders may have developed larger eyes than a normal human, almost bulbous, so they react badly to "normal" light levels from absorbing too much of it; others may have vestigial eyes with their other senses greatly enhanced to compensate for the near-blindness, so they react poorly to other "normal" stimuli. Or, of course, both - "nightsider" is a general term for a broad array of possible adaptations to low-light conditions, including developing more exotic senses like echolocation (like a dolphin), electroreception (sensing electricity, like a shark), magnetoreception (sensing magnetism, like a pigeon), etc. Their adaptation to the dark typically makes their skin extremely pale, as the lack of sunlight has lessened the amount of melanin in their skin, making them extremely vulnerable to sunburn should they be exposed to higher light levels.

	Back in 3rd edition, you could get your own army of night-vision Riddick warriors through GW's [[Chapter Approved]] rules. With the right army doctrine, for 10 points per squad, any Infantry unit of Imperial Guard could get ''Acute Senses''. Unfortunately, this rule has not aged well, as Acute Senses only really applies when outflanking units nowadays, but back in the day it also impacted how ''Sentries'' worked when the battle missions meant raising the alarm whenever enemies were spotted.

	Nowadays you would probably spend 0 points per squad to let them ignore Stealth and Shrouded, and require any Nightsiders unit to take a Blind test on any turn when not Night Fighting.

	Nightsiders possibly has a really bad reaction when it comes to natural light, as their large bulbous eyes may absorb way too much light radiation.

	Like bats they may track their prey through echolocation, using audible clicks to detect things like a natural form of sonar like the [[Astropath\|Astropaths]] on board Imperial Ships. Their adaptation to such activities has also made their skin extremely pale as the lack of sunlight has loosen the amount of melanin in their skin, making them extremely vulnerable when in contact to actual sunlight. Their time in the dark may also make their body emaciated, skinny, yet surprisingly strong. Furthermore, their lithe frame and body makes them highly stealthy in nocturnal hunts. While all this may be speculation, it is a pretty realistic speculation from a evolutionary standpoint as most nocturnal creatures (If they're not blind) often rely on instances of surprise rather than pursuing their prey.
