Editing Neurogaunt (section)

==Overview==

Neurogaunts are a Tyranid bioform, which serve as crucial relays for the Synapse network, and bodyguards for those that would focus it. To fulfill their task, Neurogaunts are hosts for parasitic [[Neurocyte]]s. Larger '''Nodebeasts''' can be distinguished by the bulbous growth on their backs, while the smaller gaunts chitter around it with sharp claws and teeth.

Now the difference between a Nodebeast and a regular Neurogaunt is that the former acts more like a squad leader. It is slightly larger, has exposed brain matter, and has more [[Chitin]] armour, making it slightly tougher.

Neurogaunts as aforementioned, are living psychic relays and sub-stations, which allows a Synapse creature to further expand its psychic influence over the battlefield. They also act as crucial meatshields for said Synapse creature, making them pretty important overall. They are close-combat specialists, so all of them are armed with [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Claws and Teeth|Claws and Teeth]] and a pair of [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Scything Talons|Scything Talons]].
