__TOC__
'''Rippers''' are a small, slug-like [[species of Tyranid]] used in [[Tyranid]] planetary invasions to consume all the biological material they can. They are completely instinctual creatures, grouped into swarms which traverse the planet during the final stages of an invasion, ingesting all biological material on the planet as part of the whole Tyranid consumption process.
They show surprising mutability. It is speculated that Rippers are a larval form of Tyranid. Eventually, the Rippers will become bloated full of biomass, unfit for combat. At this point, they simply crawl into the [[Reclamation Pool|reclamation pool]]s and to their own demise.
