Watchers in the Dark

The Watchers in the Dark are a strange race of humanoid creatures of small stature native to the lost world of Caliban who inhabit The Rock, the mobile fortress-monastery of the Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter. They are often utilised by the Chapter and its Unforgiven Successor Chapters as favoured servants. They possess a unique and powerful psychic talent which enables them to protect themselves from most forms of attack. Although they may accompany their Human masters onto the battlefield, they never take an active part in combat themselves. These hooded attendants tend to cluster around the highest-ranking warriors of the Chapter, often forming eerie processions behind them during their archaic rites, or bearing ancient artefacts into battle at their side.
