====Variations====
Reports have emerged of "elite" brood of Raveners operating on worlds far beyond the reach of the [[Hive Mind]] for extended periods. These Raveners carry a number of unusual adaptations and [[Biomorph]]s unseen in previous examples. Tentatively designated "[[Kill Team]]s", they are amongst the most efficient and effective predator organisms used by the Tyranids. Such Raveners can lay dormant on worlds for potentially millennia until they are awakened or needed.{{Fn|9a}}
Variations include:
*'''[[Ravener Alpha]]'''
*'''Ravener Prime'''- Act as [[Synapse Creature|nodal hubs]] for their broods via their neuropredatory crest. The [[Hive Mind]]'s influence spreads to nearby Ravener's, overriding their base instincts and coordinating them.{{Fn|89b}}*'''Felltalon'''- Equipped with claws that secrete virulent toxins. Those infected by the poison who manage to survive and escape leave a trail of pathogens that the Felltalon can track.{{Fn|89b}}*'''Tremorscythe'''- Equipped with nerve clusters that fill their hypersensory array, detecting not only their prey's movements but also their energy blooms, comm bursts, and minute chemical signatures.{{Fn|89b}}*'''Wrecker'''- Equipped with increased muscle mass, oversized claws, and thickened carapaces. These living weapons are used to break into reinforced holdouts, armoured vehicles, bunkers, and tearing apart anything in their path.{{Fn|89b}}*'''Venomspitter'''- Adapted to carry sac-like nodules that produce deadly toxins. From modified jaws, they can spit the poison in gobbets over considerable distances that douse enemy positions in venomous ooze.{{Fn|8}}*'''Warrior'''{{Fn|89b}}
