Pathogenesis
Pathogenesis is a Bio-Artifact of the Tyranids.[1]
An organism like no other, Pathogenesis is perhaps a throwback to the Tyranids’ genetic origins, or a shadow of things to come. Though its motes of psychic awareness are diffused throughout its carrier, it acts with a singular will. Subverting the body and symbiotes of its host, Pathogenesis causes rapid mutation: cartilaginous tubes and containment spines are lengthened; intercostal muscles are engorged; bio-ammunition are sheathed in a toxic dermis. With its host’s reach and lethality extended, fragments of Pathogenesis can reach out to the bodies of many more prey, by infesting the bio-ammunition or riding through the bio-electric charge. Whether it aims only to spread itself or is actively seeking something in the bodies of its fallen foes is unknown.[1]
