Neurogaunt
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
(Redirected from Node-Beast)
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]
