[[Image:Tyranid Trygon.jpg|thumb|right|Tyranid Trygon model from [[Forge World]].]]The '''Trygon''' is a [[species of Tyranid]]. It is to the [[Ravener]] what the [[Harridan]] is to the [[Gargoyle]] - a monstrous tunneling bio-killer that leads whole broods of Raveners into battle. A Trygon's claws can burrow through just about any material - carving out underground tunnels as it passes by. These can then be used by other Tyranid creatures. On Moran, [[Space Marine]] [[Terminator]]s of the [[Death Strike]] chapter launched an operation to investigate tunnels left behind after Trygon attacks.{{TyranidsPortal}}

==Trygon Prime==
A '''Trygon Prime''' is a variation of the Trygon modified to wield containment spines running the length of their bodies that can better harness their bio-electric buildup and further direct it into a more terrifying lightning bolt. They are also adapted to share a [[Synapse Creature|synaptic link]] with the [[Hive Mind]], allowing them to influence lesser Tyranid creatures.
