Devourer
These weapons fling worm-like parasites called flesh-worms that burrow into their victim's flesh and eat their way through its nervous system to the brain, rapidly destroying the victim's central nervous system, resulting in a painful but rapid death. The Devourers wielded by larger Tyranids teem with hives of brainleech worms, a more aggressive and voracious Devourer organism. When the worms are launched at the target, in a swarm of hundreds at a time, they either shatter against the target and spread acid and poison over it, or pierce the armour to burrow into the flesh or brain as their species type determines. The worms possess shiny black heads and are kept within the weapon, their activity triggered by a bio-electric surge that signals them to attack.
