Biovores are a Tyranid artillery unit that creates Spore Mines which explode on contact with the enemy. (Only with Fortification Pack DLC)

Description

A Biovore is a squat, bloated creature yet no less deadly for all that. Deep within its lumpen form, the Biovore nurtures a clutch of Spore Mines-living bombs that blanket the enemy in acids, poisons and shrapnel-sized pieces of chitin. Biovores thump forward in battle, bony protrusions on their fore-limbs anchoring themselves into the ground as they release their vile payload in a single shuddering spasm.
