Death Leaper

From Lexicanum

Tyranids Portal

The Death Leaper model released for the Medusa V Campaign. The extra claws on its upper scything talons, multiple eyes and scything taloned hands, appear to be variations to the normal Lictor.

The Death Leaper is a unique strain of the Tyranid Lictor genus found on Medusa V. Like the normal Lictor it is found roving ahead of the Tyranid swarms but has the ability to camouflage itself in such a way it can become almost completely invisible.

Ultramarines sergeant Erasmus believes the Death Leaper to be the first example of an evolutionary step for the Tyranids. It is feared that if the Tyranids are able to re-absorb the Death Leaper and reproduce it, the Tyranid vanguard will become virtually undetectable.
