Squig Swarm
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Squig Swarms were bio-constructed by the Tyranids from Ork genetic material. It is said that Orks found out about it, and attempted a rescue mission. They were too late, but brought back the Squigs with them, which they recognized as their own.[1]
Squig Swarms will consume anything in their path. Because they have a small intellect, they must stay in large groups to remain in contact with the Hive Mind. They can quickly overwhelm unwary individuals and tear them to pieces, stripping the corpses of flesh before moving on in search of fresh meat.[1]
