Gargoyles

A Gargoyle (Gaunti avius), also sometimes called a “Hellbat,” is a vicious winged Tyranid bioform that is often the first species of Tyranid seen in battle. Their prime purpose seems to be seeking out the enemy and sowing terror and confusion amongst them. Thus, fire and the flap of the Gargoyles’ membranous wings precede the Tyranid hordes, driving the enemy out into the open to be absorbed by the swarm, spitting death from their Fleshborers.
