====Kraken====
Fulfills the role of [[escort]] ships. Several species of Kraken have been recorded:
=====Ramsmiter Kraken=====
The Ramsmiter Kraken is the most common kind of Tyranid Bio Ship, each is armed with a hook-like proboscis which it uses to penetrate the hull of an enemy ship, sucking out digestible material while also disgorging a deadly swarm of [[genestealers]] and [[Gaunt|hermagaunts]].<sup>2</sup>
=====Hellblaster Kraken=====
'''Hellblasters''' are analogous to [[escort]] ships. They are largely made up of a huge shielded carapace, and is virtually unstoppable when attacking an enemy vessel. The purpose of a Hellblaster is to contact with the hull or shields of an enemy ship and discharge a massive buildup of acid at short range. The parts of the Hellblaster which are not made up of the carapace are almost entirely comprised of immense acid sacs and titanic firing chambers.
=====Doomripper Kraken=====
'''Doomrippers''' are parasite ships, closing with their prey before attaching itself and viciously attacking with grinding jaws and rending teeth. It gains its name from the fact that once it has successfully attached itself to its prey, it will die rather than let go. The Doomripper wraps itself around its prey, preventing the target's guns from firing at it.
=====Deathburner Kraken=====
====Dark Prowler====
