Trygon
From Lexicanum
The Trygon is a species of Tyranid. It is to the Ravener what the Harridan is to the Gargoyle - a monstrous tunneling bio-killer that leads whole broods of Raveners into battle. A Trygon's claws can burrow through just about any material - carving out underground tunnels as it passes by. These can then be used by other Tyranid creatures. On Moran, Space Marine Terminators of the Death Strike chapter launched an operation to investigate tunnels left behind after Trygon attacks.
The Trygon's acute senses can detect enemy lifeforms above. Alongside its huge claws, the Trygon also generates a strong bio-electric field. Created by constant micro-vibrations across the Trygon's body and chitinous armour this energy can build up to dangerous levels for anybody too close, discharging in a sudden powerful arc that is strong enough to kill.
