“!!!”
Blind and ultimately controlled by the Tyranid synapse-creatures they protect, these half-sentient but ferocious creatures appear to have been bio-engineered specifically to counter anti-Tyranid doctrine. It is also believed that Space Marine DNA was incorporated into the creation of the first Tyrant Guards, explaining this biomorph's extreme resilience in combat.
