In addition to symbiote modifications, these Tyranids have higher propensity for toxicity. Having a higher tedency for having venomous sacks near their claws and fangs, which toxins have increades the mortality rate of imperial in the Orpheus Salient. These toxins also show a substantial range of variation. Imperial medicae personnel have been unable to identify an antiserum that works consistently against the toxins.{{Fn|2}}

This Hivefleet has a few variants that are believed to be completely novel, among them are:

*[[Dagon Overlord]]{{Fn|2}}

*[[Mistreaper]]{{Fn|2}}

*[[What Lies Beneath]]{{Fn|2}}

~~Distinctive specimens~~

Several Tyranid variant strains have been observed within Hive Fleet Dagon that are believed to be completely novel. Of these, a few have generated legends and lore among the Imperial forces that oppose them. Tech-priests seem unable to discern whether these specimens are specific individuals of their species or variant strains. It is, however, clear that these examples are consistent in their tactical approaches and

seem capable of learning from past encounters. Some reports indicate that members of these strain variants have returned to the battlefront after being slain in battle. It is unclear if this indicates that the Tyranids have a mechanism for resurrecting these specimens, or if the later encounters are evidence of additional specimens.

“Before we can come to understand the threat presented by Hive Fleet Dagon, we first must come to grips with the organisms that comprise it. Only by studying their ontogeny can we begin to understand their capacity.”
