Norn-Queen

A Norn Queen is the Tyranid bio-form that leads the Tyranid swarms and direct the evolutionary paths to take. They invariably stay aboard their Hive Ships. Although they are sentient beings unlike so many of the other Tyranid bio-forms, they spend their entire lives arguing with their "sisters" about how the next swarm of Tyranids could be better adapted. The Norn-Queens are constantly producing Tyranid organisms, bio- weapons, and ships from a planets consumed bio-mass. The Norn-Queens are what controls the fleet and sends orders to synapse creatures on a invaded planet who then send those to the troops. The forces of the Imperium have only ever encountered a single Norn-Queen at the Battle of Tarsis Ultra. A biological plague created by using a Lictor's DNA was injected into the Norn-Queen by Captain Uriel Ventris of the Ultramarines 2nd Company. This disrupted the Hive Mind's coherency and the Tyranid creatures reverted to animalistic behaviours. This action also crippled a jaw of Hive Fleet Leviathan.
