Does some void equivalent of sea barnacles exist in the 40k universe ?

As far as I know, the void-whale and void kraken are the only creatures able to live their lives unprotected in deep space. Even Tyranids have to stop and eat sometimes.

If you have things clinging on to your hull after a trip to warpspace, you need to check your geller field. That’s one place you do not want to bring back hitchhikers.

Well Nids have to eat but in terms of depressurisation, breathing, etc, Nids are just fine.

Yes, that is what I said.

Any sane Imperial crew might check their shield. But my space orks might just find it good looking.
Noting says void capable as some nice looking barnacles sticking on the side of your shuttle.

There are probably the 40k-equivalent of Star Wars' mynocks out there somewhere. Space is really, really, really big.

Hey! I actually read about something like this today.

Not sure how close it is to what you were looking for... Buuut... here ya go: The Umbra from Xenology.
