Editing Tyranid Kraken (section)

====Clutch====

[[File:14434387_f1024.jpg|300px|right|thumb|OM NOM NOM NOM NOM!]]

A Kraken with a giant mouth to OMNOMNOM ships. They are only good for ramming and nothing else, as they lack any other range weapons other than its giant [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Great Claws|Claws.]]

The Clutch Kraken, therefore, is the only Tyranid escort to come equipped with the special Claws melee weapons. Unlike the feeder tentacles, the Claws do not work on a cooldown, basically always [[RIP AND TEAR|"firing"]] whenever the Clutch Kraken, or any other of the "melee" ships, is in contact with an enemy ship.

Thanks to the conferred immunity to frontal rams, the Clutch Kraken is safe to use Rush for the burst of speed, into larger enemy ships without worrying about suiciding your Frigates in the process. If they get rammed or make contact with their sides or rear in a collision, they are still likely to insta-pop, especially if at speed and against anything larger than a Light Cruiser.

It is armed with [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Great Claws|Claws.]]
