Lictors are armed with mantis-like claws, [[Scything Talons]], [[Flesh Hooks]], and [[Feeder Tendrils]] which are tipped with sharpened bony plates strong enough to pierce a victim's skull and are used to lobotomise victims and devour their brain. From a victim's brain, Lictors can absorb their memories, and so learn the position of enemy forces or any weaknessess that the Tyranids could exploit.¹

Lictors appear to be a specialist mutation of [[Tyranid Warrior]]s and are highly adapted to survive in hostile environments and a stalker/predator role. Despite their large size, Lictors are very agile and fast, able to outmaneuver nearly all other enemy units. It is with this speed coupled with their strength that Lictors strike from hiding; the victim surprised and unable to react in time. They are intelligent and possess highly developed sensory organs so they can see, smell, hear and taste their prey long before it becomes aware of their presence. They stand far taller than even a [[Space Marine]]. They are also known to be the only Tyranid species that will stalk its prey before killing.¹
