			[[File:Surtur-class_Swarmlord.jpeg\|300px\|thumb\|The modern version of this hellish beast]]
	The gradual disappearance of the Balor-class Tyrant wasn't an act of mercy, for with every new battle, the Nidhoggr Norn Queen, the Molten Empress, tested the limits of organisms it created and gradually crafted the most fearsome of them all, a magnum opus of fire and death with which to burn the sky and shatter the ground. And so, on a remote and fortified planet of the Space Wolves, the Surtur-class Swarmlord was unleashed. In a matter of three days, each and every fortress on the planet fell, the newly born leader of the Swallowing Flame led charge after charge, commanding its legions of fire and ash with brutal precision. On the last day, Anthra, captain of the last surviving haven of the planet, fought the beast in direct combat; despite his agility, he was no match for the fiery mountain that opposed him, and for an hour he barely managed to hold his own, until a blow from its massive sabers cut his right arm, disarming him. But before he could be finished off, he took the Swarmlord by surprise and blasted one of its own appendages off with a shot from a melta pistol. At last, the beast had lowered its guard, but it was still learning, that wasn't but a test to understand its capabilities. It mauled the captain alive, under the watch of his brothers and under the last screams of the fallen hero, so too fell the last bastion of Charan.

			[[File:Suam'O.jpeg\|300px\|thumb\|A brutish weapon of destruction]]
	Called "Commander of Flame" in the Tau language, this tyranid first appeared on a heavily defended T'au world. The Tau had taken many painstaking weeks to purge the Nidhoggr forces from their planet, utilising the heavy Riptide battle suits to clear the monstrous creatures from afar. Once every tyranid bioform had been driven back and destroyed, a single carnifex fell from the sky and ran directly at the weakest point in the enemy defence. The creature used a grappling hook-like tentacle to grab the closest Riptide and render its range advantage moot, then, it crushed its hull with the giant claws and burned the insides with its flames. The confusion and chaos it caused were enough for the hive fleet to reorganize and drive another wave of armored biomorphs, all concentrated in the spot sieged by Suam'O. After more fighting, the planet was finally consumed; though at heavy losses, a new creature had been tested by the hive mind, one that proved its effectiveness well enough to deserve further use.

These are some of the most notables:		While scouring the galaxy for sustenance, the Hive Fleet Nidhoggr has crossed paths with many other races and fought various violent wars. These are some of the most notables:

	*'''Barath's Fall:''' ~~TBA~~		*'''Barath's Fall:''' Being a mineral-rich planet covered in mining structures and filled with a vast array of natural gasses and precious metals, Barath was a paradise for the ever-hungry Nidhoggr fleet and a course so irresistible, its creatures would eventually give their all to consume it, resulting in one of the most devastating display of sheer brutality ever recorded by this fleet. The bountiful resources weren't only sought after by these terrible predators and the forces of the planet were not foreign to raids from bandits and even the occasional chaos attack, so much so that the planet was outfitted with miles of fortifications that housed both the millions of worker and the defending Astra Militarum regiment. From the very fist phases of the invasion, a very little number of meteors were able to strike the surface with most of them being annihilated by anti-air batteries and a line of thermally-charged cannons mounted on major fault lines from which they got their energy. The little forces that managed to land began their assault in the underground mines, where the narrow corridors provided an upper hand on the soldiers. Packs of Magma Corer eventually managed to disable some of the orbital cannons but by that point, the fight had already been taken to the sky, with imperial ships laying siege to the central hive ship shrouded in layers of rock and asteroid fields that were nearly enough to lighten the incoming barrages. With massive losses on the ground and facing annihilation in orbit, a final plan was devised; sacrificing part of its organic compartments to enemy fire, the mother ship quickly redirected the route near the planet's moon, and only when the pursuing imperial vessels were in range, another psychic call was broadcasted. In that instant, the swarms of Magma Corers that had been preventively been seeded in the celestial body for harvesting collectively detonated, shattering the moon like chalk on a board. The large pieces wiped out the enemy fleet and after some moments of silence bombarded the surface of the planet, flattening mountains and overturning the planet itself. Everything except for the best-hidden creatures was wiped out and the only things left were oceans of lava and charred skies. At the cost of a third of the planet's resources and almost half the Nidhoggr's fleet, Barath had fallen, and the Nidhoggr had risen once again from the flames.
