Though extremely powerful, and mobile for its size, the hierophant's bio-cannons fortunately do not posses the range of anti-armor weapons on and Titans and [[super-heavy]] tanks, allowing the possibility of killing it before it can move close enough to deploy them.
[[Image:Tyranid Hierophant.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Tyranid Hierophant bio-titan]]The '''Hierophant''' [[Titan#Tyranid Bio-Titans|biotitan]] is an immense, hideous creature, towering over the battlefield and bristling with spines, tendrils and symbiote weapons. They are amongst the largest bio-creatures yet encountered amongst the swarms of the [[Tyranid]] [[Hive Fleet|hive fleets]], comparable in size and power to an [[Imperial]] [[Titan]].
A brood of Hierophants are likely to be at the forefront of a major Tyranid attack. They are armed with massive bio-cannons, multiple claws and chitin blades, and armored armoured with a thick chitinous hide that exudes poisonous spores from rends in the plates.
Like all Tyranid creatures, the biotitan seems to be able to mutate rapidly, evolving new weapons and defences. Other variants of the biotitan have been identified with huge crushing claws or long scything blades, cluster spines and other bio-weapons.
