the tyranids were a peaceful and fun-loving species, who back in the day loved their tabletop gaming and the fantastic story that went with it. however, amongst their race rose a being of blind arrogance that went about changing the game they all loved, simply because its favourite factions had to be better that everyone else's, and as a result the peaceful and fun-loving tyranid fanboys became the raving, fanatical, galaxy devouring monsters we know today.

for we have named them incorrectly - the great devourer, whilst accurate does not contain the whole truth. for they name themselves - the great devourer of all wardian heresy, and have pledged their race to the extermination of all that tampers with that which they love.
