Tyranids Portal

The Strangleweb is a Tyranid Bio-weapon of a living spider-like creature that fires a sticky mesh of mucous-like strands which ensnare a target and then quickly shrink and harden to immobilise it. As the target struggles the web only constricts tighter until eventually they are crushed by the pressure.¹ Sometimes the strands are covered in a debilitating poison to aid in the constriction process.²

Often Termagants are armed with Stranglewebs in order to capture live specimens to return to a Tyranid Hive Ship for dissection and gene-splicing.²
