Neurogaunt

Tyranids Portal

Neurogaunts are a Tyranid bioform, which serve as crucial relays for the Synapse network.^[1]

Besides serving as relays for the Hive Mind, Neurogaunts also serve as bodyguards for other Tyranid Synapse Creatures.^[2] To fulfill their tasks, Neurogaunts are hosts for parasitic Neurocytes. Besides being able to swarm foes, Neurogaunts also serve to extend the range of Synapse Creatures they protect.^[3] For combat, Neurogaunt's are equipped with Claws and Teeth.^[4]

Larger Nodebeasts, which lead Neurogaunt squads^[4], can be distinguished by the bulbous growth on their backs, while the smaller gaunts chitter around it with sharp claws and teeth.^[2]
