Upon leaving their host, these creatures speed through the air, homing in on their target with unerring accuracy. When these living missiles strike, they emit a massive bio-electric pulse that can cripple the target’s electronics or stall their engines, leaving them without power or thrust and sending them into a fatal dive.

Once all aerial prey has been eliminated, a Hive Crone then softens up the planet’s ground-bound defenders, swooping over the heads of the enemy soldiery and drizzling digestive fluids onto its victims. Before reaching a target planet, Hive Crones also protect Tyranid bio-ships in their journeys through extragalactic space against attacks from enemy assault shuttles and bomber craft; in silence, a Hive Fleet’s Crones glide through the inky darkness, ripping enemy vessels open to the cold vacuum.
