A '''Mawloc''' is a huge worm-like [[Tyranid]] creature that acts as an outrider to the Tyranid swarm.

Similar to [[Trygon]]s, Mawlocs are burrowing creatures that travel deep underground to bypass enemy defences and then emerge behind enemy lines to run rampant through supply lines, command posts, or artillery batteries, only to vanish back underground to evade retaliation. Severe tremors are the only warning of a Mawloc attack.{{Fn|1}}

{{Endn|*}}According to the [[Ordo Xenos]], it is a flight of fancy that anything unlucky enough to be swallowed whole by a Mawloc survives long enough to experience the agony of being digested; such a victim would either be crushed to death by the contractions of its gullet or suffocate within a few minutes - which, as [[Inquisitor]] [[Amberley Vail]] admitted, ''"isn't all that comforting."''{{Fn|2}}
