The '''Hive Crone''' is a species of flying [[Tyranid]] . ==Overview==Hive Crones are used to establish air superiority over worlds targeted by the [[Hive Mind]]. It is a creature perfectly adapted to aerial combat, able to wrestle enemy aircraft out of the skies. This is accomplished thanks to the living missiles known as [[Tentaclid]]s which attach themselves to its wings.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} Once the skies have been cleared of hostile forces, Hive Crones will soften up ground targets with its [[Drool Cannon]], splashing its prey in acidic digestive fluids. But even without these impressive weapons a Hive Crone is still deadly, as it is able to fly close enough to its quarry to tear them asunder with its bladed spurs on its underside. Before reaching a target planet, Hive Crones also protect [[Bio-Ship]]s in space from enemy fleets. Here they fly along enemy vessels, ripping open their hulls to expose them to the cold vacuum.{{Fn|3}}
Hive Crones are bred with the same basic components as the [[Harpy]], but are nonetheless markedly different due to their set of dorsal chimneys which emit a cloud of toxic gas. In addition, the Hive Crone has bulging sacs on its underbelly which carry the acidic bile for the creature's drool cannon.{{Fn|2}}
