A Genestealer Familiar is a weird, WEIRD type of Hybrid variant used by Genestealer Cults. These tiny figures are not truly creatures of flesh, but rather constructs of the psychic might of a Genestealer Magus. Think of them as similar to the Haemonculus from Full Metal Alchemist, artificial robots made from organic flesh, blood and bone deigned to accomplish one or multiple things at once.
Familiars are probably used to help assist a Magus in both combat and the further spread of the Cult, and is sometimes used as replaceable meatshields in times of conflict. How or why the Genestealer Magus decide to make what counts as organic robots is unknown. The process in the creation of a Familiar is a even bigger enigma, with some in /tg/ speculating that the Cult might have 'stolen' some Haemonculi technology from the Dark Eldar.
