Hive Guard are spawned to protect Tyranid bio-architecture and vital spore-seeding sites. They carry a monstrous arsenal of grafted bio-weapons and are instinctively driven – or sometimes synaptically impelled – to lay down heavy hails of firepower against those prey organisms the Hive Mind wishes to see eradicated.
