Boarding Worm
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Boarding Worms are a type of Tyranid space-faring organism.[1]
Resembling large leeches, Boarding Worms fulfill the Tyranid role of an Assault Boat. Launched from Bio-Ships, Boarding Worms latch onto enemy vessels and chew their way into its hull before disgorging a compliment of smaller Tyranid organisms. Boarding Worms are capable of carrying anything from standard small combatant species to even a Carnifex.[1]
