The '''Malanthrope''' is a large serpent like creature that seems to be a cross between a [[Ravener]] and a [[Lictor]]. It has feeding tendrils and is about the size of a [[Zoanthropes|Zoanthrope]](EDIT: These are nowhere near the size of a Zoanthrope. If you view the model at Forgeworld.co.uk you can see that fully risen off the ground it stands taller than a Trygon.). Rarely seen, the Malanthrope follows behind a Tyranid attack. It selectively collects and processes genetic material from fallen enemies before itself being reabsorbed into the biomass. The creature grasps dead, injured and still living foes with its long groping tendrils, stuns them with its sting, then consumes them, feeding them into its maw with its small but dexterous arms. A Malanthrope is a highly intelligent, psychic creature with a strong link to the Hive Mind. It can only move by psychically levitating to skim over the ground.
