* '''Walkrant''' - The basic Hive Tyrant. Used to be able to gain a 2+ Save in the tabletop, but was removed for obscenely stupid reasons. Can now (9e) get T8 for whatever it's worth. Generally accompanied by [[Tyrant Guard]].
**'''[[Swarmlord]]''' - A one-of-a-kind Hive Tyrant variant that's the accumulation of all nid ferocity and cunning and given four super-dangerous boneswords.
* '''Flyrant''' - A Hive Tyrant with wings. Master of the [[Flying Circus]]. Very good because of how mobile it is, especially if it goes dakka. One recurring meme for this thing's value is the fact that it would require SIXTY MULTIMELTAS to remove, despite far better alternatives being available.
*'''Swarm Tyrant''' - A Hive Tyrant that has been [[Rule 63]]'ed with a [[/d/|giant vagina]]. Akin to the [[Tervigon]] and are capable of giving birth to clutches of [[Ripper]]s. They wield large [[Fleshborer]]s. Since their female, I guess we could call them Tyrantess?
* '''Dagon Overlord''' - In FFG's [[Deathwatch (RPG)|Deathwatch]], a very accomplished Hive Tyrant called the Dagon Overlord is mentioned to be leading the forces of [[Hive Fleet Dagon]]. Unlike the [[Swarmlord]], it's able to drive the swarms it commands into a blind [[rage]] and can actively copy the traits of the victims it devours, all while emitting a constant cloud of poisons that would make a [[Venomthrope]] jealous. (Unusually, it seems to go out of its way to hunt down and kill [[Deathwatch]] Kill-teams, as if it wanted revenge against the Hive Fleet's past defeats at their hands.)
* '''[[Hive Fleet Nidhoggr#Balor-class Hive Tyrant|Balor]]''' - /tg/'s made-up super-Tyrant for [[Hive Fleet Nidhoggr]].
===Related Species===
* [[Neurotyrant]] - the [[Extra Heresy|unholy lovechild]] of a Tyrant and a [[Neurothrope]]. Big brain fucker that fills the same leadership role but instead of cutting or gunning you down [[FATAL|causes your brain to melt out your ears]].
