Squats (Warhammer 40,000)

In the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000, the Squats are a dwarf-like race descended from the humans that colonised high gravity worlds. Separated from the rest of humanity over the millennia they evolved their own distinct morphology and culture. The Squats were made largely extinct by a Tyranid invasion of their Home Worlds, leaving only small pockets of embittered survivors throughout the galaxy.
