These monstrous creatures were created by the [[Hive Mind]] for the sole purpose to eat and are deployed in the latter stages of a Tyranid invasion to consume biomass at a rapid rate. The most notable feature of the Haruspex is a long grasping tongue specifically designed to drag victims into its gaping maw, lined with writhing tentacles and fangs. Once within its three sets of jaws, a Haruspex with tear apart and quickly consume its prey organism. The Haruspex is also equipped with four [[Crushing Claws]] and a set of chimneys that moderate the intense heat that builds up as the monster devours victims.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
