A '''Devourer''' is a [[Tyranid]] [[Bio-weapon]], typically carried by [[Tyranid Warrior]] breeds and their variants (including [[Tyranid Shrike|Shrikes]] and [[Tyranid Prime]]s){{Fn|1a}}.
== Appearance and Abilities Overview ==
The devourer is a conical lump of partly rotted flesh, infested by writhing worm-like parasites with black, shiny heads. When the weapon is triggered, a bio-electric jolt hurls a shower of these creatures at the enemy, where they immediately start burrowing into the flesh, eating their way through the victim's nervous system towards the brain. The agony caused by this process is enough to drive the victim insane{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}.
