A Dominatrix possess a large array of [[Bio-weapon]]ry and packs a colossal mass, dwarfing that of an [[Imperial]] [[Super Heavy Tank]]. It has an intelligence akin to that of a mighty [[Hive Tyrant]], and the link it has to the Tyranid [[Hive Mind]] surpasses even the Hive Tyrant's.{{Fn|1}}
A Dominatrix is a gargantuan composite creature of nightmarish proportions, equipped with ripping claws and fangs, and a stunning profusion of symbiotic weaponry. Dominatrices are the brood queens of the Tyranid hordes, their children spawning into all the different Tyranid classes. Inside her are rides a Norn Queen, with all the gene sequences of the galaxy's most lethal creatures, ready to be spliced and twisted by the Hive Mindinto new monstrocities.{{Cite This}}
Because of the importance of a Dominatrix, which is also the most powerful link to the Hive Mind a horde has, they are strategic targets of the highest priority. Destroying a Dominatrix can decide whether a planet falls to the Great Devourer, or is saved.{{Cite This}}
