The '''Tervigon''' is a massive [[Tyranid]] which serves as a living incubator capable of spawning [[Termagants]]. A Tervigon can carry dozens of Termagants in a dormant slumber kept beneath its lumpen carapace. When traveling through space, Tervigons do not go dormant like other Tyranid creatures but instead roam the [[Bio-ships]] acting as guards capable of yielding Termagants to delay any intruders whilst using their potent synaptic link to awaken other Tyranid creatures. If a Tervigon is killed its nearby young are inevitably also killed in a released symbiotic backlash.<sup>1</sup>
