In summary, the “Ur-Ghul” are a “xeno” race of blind troglodytes that pursue with great intensity the prey they wish to devour for their flesh. Their humanoid appearance has similarities and differences such as skin that is more resistant to damage from conventional weapons; The viciousness of an “Ur-Ghul” is increased by its acute olfactory nostrils that are located on its cranial forehead where, lacking vision, it can detect its victim by its smell from kilometers away, heat emanation or warp disturbance. (The agility of an “Ur-Ghul” is so disturbing that it can contort its body to escape or access impossible places leaving few options for hiding.)
Considered a tenacious hunter, an “Ur-Ghul” will only stop until he obtains his prize of meat, tearing his victim to pieces with his claws enough to begin feeding on her entrails but leaving her alive for a few agonizing minutes; The home planet of the “Ur-Ghul” is called “Shaa-dom” but cartographic records to locate it appear to have disappeared from Imperial systems. In the opinion of the most respected Inquisitors of the “Ordo Xenos”, the bestial “Ur-Ghul” are hounds trained by the sadistic Dark Eldar who seek satisfaction from human suffering.
As a curious fact, “Ur-Ghul” derives from “Ghoul”, a cannibalistic and scavenging spirit that feeds on unwary travelers.
Finally the phrase:
"Once those things have your scent, it is over."
