A '''Biomorph''' is an evolutionary adaptation of the [[Tyranid]] species developed by the [[Hive Mind]] to create the perfect killing beasts needed to defeat its current enemy. Biomorphs are symbiotic creatures organically attached to more complex Tyranid organisms, serving as their organisms primary means of attack.{{Fn|1}}

[[The Citadel Journal 37]] included [[Warhammer 40,000 3rd Edition Rulebook|3rd Edition]] rules for the rare biomorphs of [[Hive Fleet]] [[Harbinger (Hive Fleet)|Harbinger]], several of which would later become published biomorphs including [[Acid Spray]], [[Regeneration]], and by different names some which could be considered precursors to the [[Venom_Cannon#Heavy_Venom_Cannon|Heavy Venom Cannon]], [[Stinger Salvo]], and the [[Fleshborer Hive]].{{Fn|9}}

The Citadel Journal 37 included 3rd Edition rules for the rare biomorphs of Hive Fleet Harbinger, several of which would later become published biomorphs including Acid Spray, Regeneration, and by different names some which could be considered precursors to the Heavy Venom Cannon, Stinger Salvo, and the Fleshborer Hive.[9]
