Tyranids (often abbreviated Nids) are eusocial aliens invading the Milky Way in the Warhammer 40,000 setting.
Attributes
Tyranids are a strain of organisms that come in a wide variety of forms, from worm-like scavengers to multi-kilometer-long creatures capable of interstellar travel. Many ground combat vectors of Tyranids are bilaterally symmetrical with six appendages, but there is a lot of variety among the many Tyranid strains.
Most Tyranids are not sapient and don't make use of technology, although they have at their disposal various organs and organisms to serve as weaponry.
Tyranid Strains
- Tyranid warriors
- Gaunts (Termagaunts, Hormagaunts, etc.)
- Genestealers
