'''Termagants''' (species name: ''gauntii virago'') , originally reffered to as Hunter Slayers,¹ are a [[Tyranid]] species of the [[Gaunt (Tyranid)|Gaunt]] genus and form broods of ranged troops. While not very strong individually, these organisms will overwhelm much more elite foes with superior numbers and support from larger [[Tyranid]] breeds. There are records of termagants expended for the sole purpose of using up the ammunition of defenders. Termagaunts were originally reffered to as Hunter Slayers.<refsup>http://oz.games-workshop.com/games/40k/tyranids/extras/evolution/3.htm Evolution of the Tyranids, Australian Games Workshop (Acessed 2008.11.12)2</refsup>  {{Cite section}}

Termagants have a symbiotic relationship with a species of borer beetle called fleshborers, fired out of a weapon named after the beatle.<refsup>Codex: Tyranids (4th Edition)3</refsup>

Termagaunts are among the first species of Tyranid dispatched, when a [[hive fleet]] invades a system. ² The adult termagants quickly assuage their hunger on plant material and mate. The female takes 5-8 days to grow the young to four inches long, then inserts half of them into her mate. When the Hive Mind instructs them to attack, they shoot their fleshborer beetles into their targets, to feed on them and mate and grow. When the Tyranids win, the termagants insert their larvae into their enemies corpses to grow, like maggots. After 2-3 weeks, a nearly adult Termagant emerges, complete with the fleshborers sharing his host corpse, and the cycle begins again.{{Cite section}}
