===History===
===Observations===
The '''Scythed Hierodule''' is armed with four huge razor sharp claws, each capable of slicing through a battle tank, and heavily protected by chitin plates, in places up to 30cm 30 cm thick. A Hierodule is far larger than a [[Carnifex]]. As well as its claws, the Hierodule also bears a symbiote creature which appears to live in its back, growing out between the armour plates. This toxic creature helps defend its host from attack, squirting a jet of potent mutagenic acid against any enemy that gets too close.

==Barbed Hierodule==

===History===
After losing Harmman's World to Hive Fleet Kraken, the Imperial forces reinforced the [[Moran]] system. The assault, by Hive Fleet Kraken, was soon manifested. While the Imperium had learned from its losses, the Tyranid had evolved. The Hierodule had evolved into the '''Barbed Hierodule''' with a powerful ranged attack. It was quite a shock to the Imperial forces when it appeared on [[Maxima Moran]].
