Specimen MYOP-GG/08 was mistakenly identified as belonging to the G. neuroticus species upon recovery, though this classification falls apart with minimal scrutiny. The specimen has a notable cephalic growth only found in warp-touched bioforms of the Tyranid menace. This sets it apart from the Neurogaunt, which exhibits psychic ability only through its symbiosis with the neuroloid. Its apparent innate psychic ability is unique among the Gauntii genus as it is often only found in larger bioforms. To the uninitiated such differences are minor, though it would be wise for our initiates to exhibit more scrutiny in biological identification.

Although it seems underdeveloped and unassuming, the Psychogaunt is a terrifying threat to face. They are known to target psykers such as astropaths and navigators, manipulating their actions to disorganize the ship from within. Psychogaunts will often remain in the backline of the boarding party to disorient their foes through psychic screams.

Specialized teams of Gauntii subspecies were first encountered in 3.652.009M42 in the Psylona Secundus system, and have since been sighted across the Karthago Reach. Their unique adaptations and mode of attack have only intensified rumours among imperial forces in the sector, and as such these subspecies have been assigned the moniker "The Masked Breachers of Psylona Secundus."
