'''Norn-Queens''' (also known as Splicer-Beasts){{citethisFn|1}} are the productive parts of the [[Tyranid]] swarm. They live upon massive Hive Ships in huge chambers at the centre of the [[Hive Fleet]] and ingest genetic materials, churning out all the countless types of creatures that make up the Tyranid Hive Fleet. All Tyranids have links back to a Norn-Queen, as the only way for Tyranids to reproduce is via this cloning technique. It is said that they lead the Tyranid forces and direct the evolution of the Tyranid race.{{cite this}}
