[[File:T5EPyrovore.jpg|200px|right|thumb|A '''Pyrovore''' in action.{{Fn|1}}]]
A '''Pyrovore''' is a species of [[Tyranid]] which pre-digests biomass to provide minerals and fuel for the Tyranid [[Hive Fleet]]. Its ==Overview==A Pyrovores body is a complex array of bladders and stomachs, driven by the instinctive need to feed, with a deadly maw dripping with corrosive acids strong enough to break down flesh, bone and armour into a smouldering mucous. They are often found on battlefields feasting on the dead and wounded, and can even devour metals and rocks.{{Fn|1}}
When facing an enemy, a Pyrovore can launch a searing fireball from the dorsal [[flamespurt]] [[bio-weapon]] growing out of its own flesh. If injured, the acidic contents of a Pyrovore's various stomachs spray out of its wounds over its enemies; if killed, the volatile ichors of a Pyrovore's insides have a good chance of igniting in a tremendous explosion, engulfing everything around it.{{Fn|1}}
