====Strangler====

A Kraken with feeder tentacles to OMNOMNOM the ships' crew. The more boarding action-happy of the ram-boats.

The Strangler Kraken is basically the tougher variant of the 3 assault escorts, all equipped with feeder tentacles. Because of the nature of assaults and the tentacles weapons, there is no difference damage-wise between the three, so the differences instead revolve around secondary characteristics of the vessels.

Of the two destroyers, the [[Strangler Escort Drone]] is the cheapest basic version. The [[Strangler Vanguard Drone Ship]] has the same stats as the Drone except for a slightly higher cost thanks to the Marker ability it brings. Finally, the Strangler Kraken is the most expensive, but doubles the hit points of the two Destroyers, as it is a Frigate class ship, and drops the marker ability for the hull regeneration ability granted to all the Kraken Frigates.

It is armed with 1 [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Feeder Tentacles|Feeder Tentacles and Hook Tentacles.]]
