Tyrant Guard

Tyrant Guard are a special species of Tyranid spawned in small broods for the sole purpose of defending the Hive Tyrant. They are large, tough, and difficult to harm, and it is nearly impossible to surpass their defences when they are active in their purpose as bodyguards. Tyrant Guard are completely blind, utterly controlled by the synapse creatures they protect. On occasion, a Carnifex may also benefit from the Tyrant Guard's protection. Tyrant Guard are scientifically rumoured to contain the DNA of defeated Space Marine chapters, but the Imperium considers this blasphemy and denies its possibility.
