*In [[Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader]], the term "Hive-tyrant" applied to the ruler and primogenitor of the whole Hive Fleet - they were described as immensely psychic, huge, bloated with eggs and virtually immobile. The destruction of this Hive-tyrant would disperse the fleet.{{Fn|4}} This description fits the Norn-Queen of more recent publications. It was during the [[Warhammer 40,000 2nd Edition Rulebook|second edition]] of the game that the position of the Tyranid Hive Tyrant in the Tyranid hierarchy changed to its current position; not the highest embodiment of the hive-mind, but the largest version commonly encountered in battle.{{Cite This}) ===Conflicting Sources===*{{Endn|Conflicting sources}} This exact height for a Hive Tyrant is not consistent, and art depicting a Hive Tyrant standing next to an [[Imperial Guard|Guardsman]] on the same page the 2.9 Meter height is given shows the creature standing at least triple the guardsman's height{{Fn|6b}}, and given other similar scaling images in the same book show a relatively consistent roughly 1.5 meter tall Guardsman, 2.9 meters is possibly a typo, putting the height of the Hive Tyrant a mere 0.5 meters above the height of a [[Shrike]]{{Fn|6c}}.
