[[Image:Ravener.jpg|thumb|150px|right|A Ravener]]
A '''Ravener''' is a [[Tyranid]] species adapted for fast assaults, surprise raids and swift pursuits. To achieve this, they are capable of burrowing under the ground for long distances and moving over all manner of terrain at alarming speeds. They have spade-like [[Scything Talon]]s for digging, snake-like bodies for agile movement, and thorax-mounted weapon-symbiotes, and they . They also bear some resemblance to the Tyranid [[Warrior]] species.<sup>1</sup>
Raveners have highly sensitive auditory and visual senses that can detect a broad range of vibrations and energy bands, allowing them to hear small tremors on a planet's surface and also giving them the unieuq unique ability to "see" energy-forms emitted by [[Vox]] transmissions, sensor-stealth technology and even [[Teleport Homers]]. They can effectively hunt prey by detecting an ungaurded signal and tracking it back its origin. Thus the enemies technology is turned against them, and any concealed outposts or infiltrators are not hidden from a Ravener.<sup>1</sup>
Raveners, like many Tyranid organisms, are essentially unthinking beasts when not under the influence of the [[Hive Mind]]. They lose all sense of priority, reverting to the animalistic joy of chasing down a panicked and fleeing foe rather than attacking closer stationary targets that may be stationary.<sup>1</sup>
