The '''Dominatrix''' (plural: ''Dominatrices'', species name: ''Tyranicus praepotens'' {{Cite This}}) is a [[Tyranid]] species which exerts a controlling [[psychic]] aura to bring lesser Tyranid creatures under its will, allowing the swarm under its command to operate with uncanny efficiency and tactical ability. However, a Dominatrix is extremely rare and only seen in the most advanced Tyranid swarms.{{Fn|1}}
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}}
