If a part of a monster isn't mentioned (such as armour or gear), it should be assumed that the monster in question doesn't have it.
Mind Worms
The Swarm
Webbed Cluster Raiders
The Webbed Cluster is home to a small, very-nearly-inbred colony of Arachne. They carry out frequent raids on isolated settlements, in order to maintain something approximating a varied gene-pool.

Mind Worms
The Mind Worm is from a little known Beastlands planet on which the flora and fauna form a planet-wide hive-mind gestalt. It appears quite similar to the Annelidae of Terra, only it is several times larger, has jaws which can chew through plasma steel and can, when part of a boil (the proper term for a group of Mind Worms), inflict psychically induced terror on sentients.
Mind Worm
Skills: Brawl 2
Speed: 2
Size/Resilience: 1/2
Static Defense: 14
HP: 6
Attacks: Bite [Natural; Melee; 0k1 R; Pen 5; Brawling, Tearing]
Abilities:Implant - Mind Worms use the heads of living creatures as their nests. Should a Mind Worm deal at least 1 point of damage to the head of any living creature, it will stop attacking for 3 rounds while it implants an egg. If this egg is not removed or destroyed within 5 days, it will hatch into a baby Mind Worm, which will proceed to inflict 2 R to the head every day which ignores armour and Resilience. Should this damage kill the victim, a fully-grown Mind Worm will work its way out of their corpse to continue the glorious cycle of life.

The Swarm
The Swarm is strongly connected to an odd, black mineral found in small deposits here and there throughout the rock that composes Fandamar's Folly, the rocky spire around which Blackspire is built. The mineral itself seems to be relatively safe, but when a Swarm-infested mortal locates a deposit, that mortal will usually undergo a hideous transformation, becoming a bloated monstrosity called a Swarm Matriarch which does almost nothing but spew out Swarm-drones. Swarm-drones are corrupted forms of creatures that the Matriarch has consumed, and typically spend a lot of time searching for other living beings, either to kill and consume or to drag to the Matriarch to feed to it.

Float Spiders
An animal unique to the Crystal Sphere of Archipelago, the float-spider is an arachnid uniquely suited to its terrestrially-challenged environment. It usually spins a web between floating bits of debris, then feeds off whatever blunders into its collapsing trap. It is not known whether there is a maximum age float-spiders can attain, and they continue to grow as they get older, with the largest confirmed examples able to catch small sky-boats in their webs.

The Masked Reveller
The Masked Reveller is strongly associated with and, in fact, causes a malign affliction called the Red Death. Victims suffer mild symptoms for a month, then experience violent bleeding from their everything, usually causing death by exsanguination in a matter of minutes.
It appears as a tall, humanoid figure wearing a completely featureless mask (even moreso than those of Vizards - Vizards' masks have eye and mouth holes) and long robes, constantly glistening with fresh blood. However, it leaves no traces of its passing, except its "little gift" of a surprisingly painless death. If it is allowed free reign, it typically uses the Red Death to cause general panic in a populace until a protective quarantine is established, whereupon it very deliberately infects everyone within (or possibly outside of, depending upon exactly who is in the quarantine, the infected or the "clean") the quarantine with the Red Death, then vanishes to another location to repeat the cycle. However, it can be, and has been on a few occasions, bound, although the binder typically dies after a month, due to their exposure to the Masked Reveller. Those binding the Masked Reveller typically use it as an untraceable assassination weapon.

The Collector
The Collector, a daemon of unknown master - some speculate that Khorne decided to create a new servant, others that Slaanesh wished to perfect the art of fear - does just that: collects. Specifically, it collects the heads of fallen combatants, then infuses them with some small shard of its power and uses them as minions.
Externally, at least, the Collector appears to be something that might once have been human - a tall figure, clad in a yellow coat with a skull blazing with blue fire and contained in a cage for a head. However, within the xanthous wrapping lies a netting of some unknown material, into which are laced literally hundreds of severed heads attached to torn-out spinal cords, all moaning and whispering fragments related to their original lives.

Life Steal - The Collector attempts to open a vein on a target and drain the life directly from its body. This attack is treated as a Focus Power test using Forbidden Lore + Resistance against a target within 20 m and deals 2k2 R damage, +1 for each raise on the test. For every two wounds this attack causes, the Collector heals one Hit Point.
Collect - The Collector does what it prefers to do, and removes the head and spinal cord of a fallen foe. It will use this on a dead or unconscious foe, then weave the taken object into its internals, adding another hapless soul to its already impressive collection. This is a process that takes 3 rounds.

Notes on running the Collector
The Collector tends to roam on its own, without any of its heads given their minimal freedom, but it will usually open up in combat by sending out three heads, unless its foe is so weak that it feels able to kill it without help.
When the Collector does have help, it usually adopts a position of long-range support, scaring its opponents into flight or being frozen in sheer terror while its minions kill them, then reabsorbing its help and taking the heads of the fallen.
If the Collector sees that its collection isn't much help or if it gets wounded, it will enter the fray itself, draining the blood from its opponents' veins.
The Collector may be single-minded, but it's not stupid. It won't go after a body if there's an able-bodied foe that could hurt it, but it will also not go for a further away body if there's a closer body that can be harvested from.

Leviathan-Class Predators
From the Alterra Corporation Transplanetary Survival Catalogue, which describes itself as "a widely-used, scientifically-researched electronic document considered by many to be an essential tool for the discerning adventurer": "Leviathan-class species are vast organisms which occupy the top of their respective food chains. Some approach the size limit for purely material species. Some exceed this limit and are, as a result, partially Immaterial, deriving sustenance and integrity from the powers of the Warp."
Reaper Leviathan
Reaper Leviathans are a rare, predatory, aquatic species, which use echolocation to detect prey, then their four eyes to home in on it and their four mandibles to crush it and draw it into their jaws. They have been described as being longer than some submersible vehicles. They have also been described as being capable of destroying submersible vehicles longer than they are by terrified survivors and/or observers.
NOTE: They may be little more than huge dumb animals, but they're still very capable of sneaking up on you. If you find yourself in a known Reaper Leviathan habitat, watch your back.

Reaper Leviathan
| Scan of Reaper Leviathan obtained at great cost to the Alterra Corporation. Royalties may be paid to [DATA CORRUPTED] |
Reaper Leviathans are a rare, predatory, aquatic species, which use echolocation to detect prey, then their four eyes to home in on it and their four mandibles to crush it and draw it into their jaws. They have been described as being longer than some submersible vehicles. They have also been described as being capable of destroying submersible vehicles longer than they are by terrified survivors and/or observers.
NOTE: They may be little more than huge dumb animals, but they're still very capable of sneaking up on you. If you find yourself in a known Reaper Leviathan habitat, watch your back.

Ghost Leviathan
While Ghost Leviathans approach the size limits of viable organisms which are both purely organic and purely Material, this does not mean that they should be taken to be fragile in any way.
Juvenile Ghost Leviathan
| Juvenile Ghost Leviathan, observed in its natural environment. Fossilised remains belong to unknown species, assumed extinct. |
At a massive 67 metres in length, juvenile Ghost Leviathans are terrifying predatory monstrosities. Before they abandon their cave-based hatching grounds, juvenile Ghost Leviathans attack and attempt to consume almost anything they see.

Adult Ghost Leviathan
| Structure for simulation of adult Ghost Leviathan extrapolated from scan of juvenile of the species, alongside visual records of adults. |
Adult Ghost Leviathans, having left their cave-based hatching grounds, head for the open ocean, where they abandon their aggressively predatory ways and become intensely territorial filter-feeders. It is not yet known how they manage to lay their eggs in these caves, given their demonstrable inability to enter them.

The Kir'ko
The Kir'ko are a loose coalition of escaped (and rescued) arthropoid slaves and test subjects. While many Kir'ko are quite happy in the racial forms they were hatched (or metamorphosed) into, more specialised or mutilated forms have been seen.
Abyssian
Tormented
Abyssian
Kir'ko fighters come in a wide variety of forms, and Abyssians are one of the more esoteric forms. Originally intended as an adaptation for those intending to support the Kir'ko movement by digging or building, their useful ability to burrow under the battlefield unimpeded by uneven terrain and enemy fire and their equally useful ability to spit both a mildly corrosive, quick-setting natural cement and their viciously acidic stomach acid make them potent adversaries. They sometimes act as mounts for other Kir'ko, and their natural toughness and thick carapaces give them defenses both against cave-ins and weapons fire.

Tormented
Not all those the Kir'ko rescue from cruel masters escape whole. Some of them, used as conveniently fast-breeding test-stock, are the subjects of brutal biological experimentation, frequently bearing hideous mutations, ragged amputations and experimental augmentations. These Kir'ko are considered to be Tormented, and frequently display sorcerous abilities.
