- Monstrous Creature - The Tyrant Guard is a species of Tyranid spawned for the sole purpose of defending a Hive Tyrant from harm. - Tyrant Guards are among the dimmest of the Tyranid creatures, on a par with many of the smaller gaunt genus creatures in intellect. - This seems to be a deliberate evolution of the Hive Mind in creating a lumbering, heavily defended and utterly loyal bodyguard with no sense of personal safety, only the continued survival of its master, often blocking attacks with their bodies. - Effective against Infantry.
