The '''Harridan''' is one of the largest flying [[Tyranid]] creatures the [[Imperium]] has yet encountered, surpassed in size only by the [[Vituperator]]. It has two bio-cannons and a pair of scything claws for swooping low and slashing up tanks. Being a living creature and relying on wings rather than jet engines the Harridan cannot match an aircraft for straight line speed but its lithe, twisting body is far more manoeuvrable allowing it to twist and turn to avoid enemy fire. Harridans seem to act as brood-mothers to smaller [[Gargoyle]]s. It is thought that Gargoyles lack the endurance for very long distance movement but it is known that they can hitch a lift on a Harridan using their hooks and claws to attach themselves. The Harridan has no legs or feet and because of this it has been theorized that once airborne a Harridan can never land.
