Scataphagoid
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Scataphagoids are beetle-sized organisms that live in the respiratory tracts of Tyranid bio-ships, and are one of the innumerable species which make up a Hive Fleet. Scataphagoids fulfil one of the more humble and simple responsibilities in the Tyranid fleets; their purpose being to clean the respiratory tracts and recycle organic material.[1]
