The '''Barbed Strangler''' is a [[Tyranid]] [[Bio-weapon]] commonly wielded by [[Tyranid Warrior]]s{{Fn|5}} and [[Carnifex]]es.{{Fn|51b}}
== Overview ==
The Barbed Strangler is a fairly simple weapon consisting of a seed sac and a muscled tube. A seed moves from the sac to the barrel where it grows in seconds. When it is launched it grows further in all directions, reaching maturity in seconds. It sends out hooked tendrils to bind and tear apart its prey. The seed has some similarity to some ground-based xenomorphs and is in actual fact a sentient alien flora.{{Fn|11a}}{{Fn|2}}
