Toxin Sacs
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Toxin Sacs are a Tyranid biomorph consisting of parasitic glands containing small mites which attach to a Tyranid creature and secrete poisons into the host's bio-weapons or coat poison over the host's claws, fangs and talons, while the parasite feeds on the host in return. The poisons vary wildly from necrotic venoms to toxins capable of boiling a victim's blood while still in their veins. All of the deadly poisons are swimming with Tyranid phage cells.[1][2]
