A '''Pyrovore''' is a species of [[Tyranid]] which pre-digests biomass to provide minerals and fuel for the Tyranid [[Hive Fleet]].
===Overview===
A Pyrovore's body is a complex array of bladders and stomachs, driven by the instinctive need to feed, with a deadly maw dripping with corrosive acids strong enough to break down flesh, bone and armour into a smouldering mucous. They are often found on battlefields feasting on the dead and wounded, and can even devour metals and rocks.{{Fn|1}}
