Gaunt

The gaunts are the basic foot-soldier of the tyrnaid race. They are normally very numerous in the hive fleets of the tyranids and are used to swarm the enemy. Often entire broods of gaunts are used by the hive mind to use up the enemy's ammuntition so the tyranid leaders may attack in relative safety. Gaunts are divided into a number of subgroups, although all gaunts share the feature of being small and agile.

-Termagaunts are armed with the fleshborer, which fires a living bettle which buries into the target's flesh

-Hormagaunts are armed with scything talons, which are large, scythe-like claws and can leap exceptionally fast.
