The Hive Crone is the Tyranid's answer to a fighter jet. No, seriously. Created to allow the Hive Mind to establish aerial dominance over a world it has targeted, they fight with tooth, nail and claw for the Hive. That, and a variety of nasty living weapons; living misiles known as Tentaclids; a Drool Cannon (lol), which fires acidic spit; and bladed spurs on their wings. Despite how they look (and considering they are flying by flapping their wings) they are freaking fast and have to be to catch enemy fighters.
These creatures also serve as the Hive Fleet's jet escorts in space as well, protecting their bio-ships and ripping open the hauls of enemy vessels. This is a bit retarded though when you consider the vastness of space and as mentioned these things are literally flapping to get around, which we are expected to believe makes them a match for fast moving space attack craft. Regardless these pests are a danger and anti-nid spray should be applied at the same sighting.
