Meiotic Spore
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
(Redirected from Meiotic spores)
Tyranid Meiotic spores are large sacks full of bio-acid and toxins and contain smaller Spore Mines within them. Trailing long, groping tendrils, they detonate when they sense an enemy nearby, showering their foe with razor-sharp chitin and bone fragments, toxic gases and corrosive juices.[1]
Meiotic Spores were first encountered on Beta Anphelion IV and were at first just identified as enlarged Spore Mines. The Spore Mines carried onboard are used by the Meiotic Spore to enhance its explosive power. Not all Spore Mines are destroyed during the explosion, some will be scattered around. Unlike Spore Mines, Meiotic Spores can function as floating minefield due to their gas-filled sacks.[2]
