Trygon is a Tyranid monstrous creature unit that can initiate subterranean assaults.

Description

The Trygon is a vast serpentine creature, so colossal that it towers over even the mighty Carnifex. It is a heavily armoured monster, covered from head to tail with a thick carapace of shifting plates. As the Trygon moves, these plates generate a potent bio-static charge that courses along the length of the beast's body and wreathes its bladed forelimbs with crackling power. The Trygon can direct this energy as a lethal high-voltage discharge—unleashing pulsing arcs of lightning that leave its prey as little more than a charred pile of scorched bones.
