'''Chitin''' is a basic dense shell worn by all [[Tyranid]] species, even the most basic of organisms such as the [[Ripper]]. These are tough, beetle-like carapaces which cover the creatures vital spots. Chitin is tough enough to turn aside blades and even glancing small-arms fire.^{{Fn|1}}

Larger and more powerful Tyranids are often bred with '''Reinforced Chitin''', a series of carapace plates that exude a sticky resin-like substance which quickly harden and create additional self-healing layers of ablative armor that offers the Tyranid greater protection against incoming attacks.^{{Fn|1}}
