'''Zoanthropes''' are a [[species of Tyranid|species]] of [[Tyranid]] created solely to harness the potential [[psyker|psychic]] power of the [[Hive Mind]], in effect a type of psychic artillery used in Tyranid planetary invasions and a [[synapse creature]] used to relay the commands of the Hive Mind to lesser creatures.{{Fn|4}}

===Neurothrope===

'''Neurothropes''' are further evolved versions of the standard Zoanthrope. These alpha beasts have the ability to leech the very life force from their foes to power their attacks. There are some who believe the Neurothrope strain to be the progeny of the [[Doom of Malan'tai]], which is a truly horrifying concept for all sentient races.{{Fn|7}}

Neurothropes can also use their parasitic power to heal nearby Zoanthropes, which helps to safeguard against the overload of psychic energy that commonly overwhelms these creatures. A combined host of these psychic bioforms is a formidable threat indeed.{{Fn|8}}
