The '''Scythed Hierodule''' is armed with four huge razor sharp claws, each capable of slicing through a battle tank, and heavily protected by chitin plates, in places up to 30cm thick. A Heirodule is far larger than a [[Carnifex]]. As well as its claws, the Heirodule also bears a symbiote creature which appears to live in its back, growing out between the armour plates. This toxic creature helps defend its host from attack, squirting a jet of potent mutagenic acid against any enemy that gets too close.
