Ripper Swarm
“!!!”
Rippers are a small, maggot-like species of Tyranids that serve as the primary means of devouring bio-mass from a planet for a Tyranid Hive Fleet. Rippers are the most numerous of the Tyranid creatures, and in great swarms they can pull down and consume creatures many times their own size.
