Editing Hive Fleet Dagon (section)

== Unique Tyranid bioforms ==

Imperial forces deployed against Dagon have reported sighting some Tyranid units never seen before. Whether they are just variations of already existing strains or are whole new bioforms, the experts are not sure. All of these beings have gained a fearsome reputation, and the Deathwatch takes exceptional care to find and destroy them whenever possible.

*'''Dagon Overlord''': Thought to be a [[Hive Tyrant]] variant, this monster is able to drive lesser Tyranids into raging frenzies, and it's constantly dripping in venom. Notorious for going out of its way to kill members of the Deathwatch, to the point that some Astartes see it as a manifestation of the Hive Fleet's hate for the Deathwatch and the Jericho Reach.
*'''Mist Reaper''': Thought to be a [[Lictor]] variant, this creature always acts behind enemy lines on the planet Xyan, killing objectives it thinks vital to the defenders's efforts or simply butchering anyone who goes too far into the mists of the planet it dwells upon. Ordo Xenos scholars note that it seems to be unusually adept at bypassing Imperial security measures given reports of it abducting Imperial citizens right out of their own homes, although they cannot explain how it does so. For the most part the locals are unaware of its presence, as it rarely leaves any identifiable trace of its victims.
*'''What Lies Beneath''': Thought to be an unusually large [[Trygon]] variant, this beast drives massive forces of [[Hormagaunt]]s to the enemies's rear, hitting them when they least expect it- especially since it often appears long before other burrowing Tyranid bioforms make their presence known. It has a noted preference for attacking stores of volatile compounds such as plasma reactors or promethium stores, and actively targets those which have received substantial chemical stores or have recently altered their containment mechanisms. The ensuing attack inevitably destroys massive amounts of Imperial supplies and personnel, and despite multiple reports of it being killed in the subsequent explosion it always seems to reappear on a different planet or system some time later.
