Mindshackle Scarab

A Mindshackle Scarab is a small Necron automated construct that is one of the Necrons’ chief methods of controlling alien races. At the bearer’s command, a swarm of these tiny scarabs bury into the victim’s head and bypass cerebral functions, turning the victim into little more than a puppet under the control of the scarabs’ master. When released during combat, they can be used to force a person to attack his own forces; for at least a time before he can wrest back control of his mind Mindshackle Scarab hives are found exclusively as part of the armouries of Necron royals, such as those of Necron Overlords, Necron Lords and Necron Destroyer Lords.
