Deathspitter

The Deathspitter is a bio-weapon frequently carried and used by Tyranid Warriors. It is an organic symbiote formed from three separate and quite different creatures. Deep inside the quivering innards of the Deathspitter is a warm wet brood chamber where the maggot like creatures which form the ammunition are nurtured. These creatures have a chitinous shell and a firey metabolism based upon their highly corrosive and volitile vital fluids.

Next to the brood chamber lies the arming orifice in which lurks an oozing, spider jawed creature which strips the maggot like creature of its carapace with a loud grinding sound before dropping it into the firing colon.

The firing colon reacts to the corrosive fleash of the maggot like creature with a powerful spasm which fires the mosel of living flesh out of the Deathspitter. The still living gobbet of flesh shrieks through the air (which is poison to it) until it reaces its target. There it splatters over the target and kills its victim with a combination of velocity, poison and corrosive slime. Nearby targets may also be unfortunate enough to be splattered by gobbets of corrosive slime which eat through armour and burn flesh.
