=== Dissection 4 - Umbra ===
[[File:Umbra_Awesome.jpg|500px|right|thumb|Magic 8-Ball says: Outlook not so good]]
An [[Umbra]] is a black ball 8 centimeters in diameter. These little fuckers are pests found attached to warp engines and near entrances to the webway. The dissection proves nothing, except they are damaged by light and contain no organs except for an unidentifiable non-Newtonian liquid ''(i.e.: it changes viscosity based on applied force)''. When the specimen was killed, it left an image of a humanoid figure being broken into pieces, followed by images of a warp storm and deep space, as well as a psychic shriek of the word: '''"LINGER"''' in the observers' minds.
*Anecdotal study shows these pests are '''FUCKING DANGEROUS''': they have the ability to manipulate and solidify darkness into shapes and weapons, Even manipulating the [[Grimdark|dark spots inside the pupils of its victim's eyes]] [[RIP AND TEAR|to create hooks, barbs and teeth]]. There is also a picture of these little spheres assaulting the [[Ultramarines]].
*Bits of evidence collected by the Inquisitor in the anecdotes surrounding the Umbra indicate that around the time of the [[War in Heaven]], one of the [[Old Ones|Old Gods]] disappeared to hide in the warp and watch the universe from there. Then [[Fall of the Eldar|later]], [[Slaanesh]] was born and LOL'd at him, [[Khaine|chopped him into a million pieces]] and kicked him back into the material universe to '''linger''' forever.
**The Inquisitor suggests that the Umbra are a three dimensional representation of a multidimensional being, which is why they appear so simple, when in fact we cannot bend our minds in such a way to actually see it for what it really is.
**The Inquisitor also speculated that the motive for the Umbras hostility towards the material races might be rooted in this ancient story, whether out of confusion or anger, they are trying to remove the mortal races psychic influence on the warp and allow it to become calm once again.
