** Which often home in on signals from scouts that have been established on the target already. Lictors you don't see coming, but they just kill you. Genestealers, on the other hand...
** Chaos cultist and pretty much any other form of subversive anythings are absolutely the in-universe paranoia fuel. Anything that looks like a human but secretly wants to do anything other than die for the Emporer's glory is to be hunted down and destroyed. Hence the various flavors of Inquisitors who would absolutely LOVE to talk about all those disloyal thoughts you've been having...
** Just because we haven't discovered [[Hell|the Warp]] yet doesn't mean we're not going to.

** Every thing that exists has a spirit that embodies its core concepts... and this spirit is often a greedy little bastard that just wants power. So, don't be upset if it forces its way into your body, forcibly merges with your soul, and decides to go for a ride...
** There exists a world that is to our world what matter is to anti-matter. Things from that world fall through every so often, eating people's memories and sense of self, just plain eating people, or cutting large chunks from the timeline so that you may have never existed.
** That bench you're sitting on? That rock in the park? That mysterious bit of "modern art" that spontaneously appeared in the square? They could all be ravaging monsters, driven to dormancy by the weight of human observation. At least, until the right kind of person walks by, at which point they'll come alive and won't care ''who'' gets in the way as long as they can get a bite...

** [[Body Horror|The Hosts]]...especially spider hosts... Ugh! To clarify, there are tiny spiritual spiders that want to colonize your body. They will likely begin by ''eating your brain'' until you are functionally non-existent. Then they move in and start colonizing...

** The worst paranoia isn't from any of these. It's all of them as a collective. There are monsters ''everywhere,'' they pretend to be human and there's ''no way'' to defend yourself against them. Thank god for [[Hunter: The Vigil

** [[Mega Corp|Pentex]]. The company that produces just about everything, from computer chips to duct tape, that you might come into contact with during the course of modern life -- and makes sure that all of it is in some way designed to destroy your health, your sanity, or your very soul. That hamburger you're eating? It's tainted with spiritual corrosion. That movie you're watching? It's engineered to turn you callous and violent. That aspirin you just took for your headache? It's going to give you something a whole lot worse.<br /><br />Pentex also makes toys that have evil spirits inside. At night and when left alone with the kids they will come to life. Then after several "the child thinks the dolls talk to him" reports, the toy will ''kill the childs parents and blame it on the child''. Bonus points if the child is convinced the toy is his only friend. Have fun playing now, kids!<br /><br />All these products are created by subsidiary companies, so you can't stay safe just by watching out for a Pentex logo, and none of them will (usually) do you any major harm on their own... but every little bit erodes your bodily and spiritual integrity further, and one day you will be past that crucial threshold that will allow an evil spirit to crawl inside of your skin and turn you into an insane, deformed, mutated abomination that will destroy everything you touch during your brief remaining life, and then die messily and painfully. And then, more likely than not, your tumorous body will be ground down by those industrious Pentex folks and used as an ingredient in the next batch of tainted pizza toppings...
