The '''Malanthrope''' is a large serpent like creature that looks similar to a [[Lictor]]. It has feeder tendrils and is about twice the size of the [[Zoanthrope]], another creature it closely resembles. Rarely seen, the Malanthrope follows behind a Tyranid attack. It selectively collects and processes genetic material from fallen enemies before itself being reabsorbed into the biomass. The creature grasps dead, injured and still living foes with its long groping tendrils, stuns them with its sting and consumes them, feeding them into its maw with its small but dexterous arms. A Malanthrope is a highly intelligent, psychic creature with a strong link to the Hive Mind. It can only move by psychically levitating to skim over the ground.
