Norn Queen

Definitely a hug.
Its lonely, hungry and possibly even a little scared.
I mean seriously, its just seen Justin Bieber on TV, run by a McDonalds thinking there might be food there and smelled the air of our cities for the first time.
Pet time.....

Tyranids have several different ways of reproduction, not only the Norn Queens. The most known example is The Anphelion Project, where some Tyranid organism escaped and reproduced and ate the planet.

TheEyeOfNight- I swear, this thread is 70% smack talk, 20% RP organization, and 10% butt jokes
TheEyeOfNight- "Ordo Xenos reports that the Necrons have attained democracy, kamikaze tendencies, and nuclear fission. It's all tits up, sir."
Space Marine flyers are shaped for the greatest possible air resistance so that the air may never defeat the SPACE MARINES!
Sternguard though, those guys are all about kicking ass. They'd chew bubble gum as well, but bubble gum is heretical. Only tau chew gum

Anphelion is the source for the 'hormagaunts can breed independently' that Locarno was referring to, lol.

I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him.
I want a hormogaunt, cause damn if charging into battle riding a sickle-armed beast firing a lasgun isn't awesome I don't know what is.

They should be strong enough, after all Tyranid muscles are like a million times more efficient than organic ones.
Tyranid organisms can mutate, it wouldn't be hard for a Termagant to mutate a reproductive system.

Tyranid muscles aren't organic? Okay...

And the Angels of Darkness descended on pinions of fire and light... the great and terrible dark angels.
He was not the golden lord. The Emperor will carry us to the stars, but never beyond them. My dreams will be lies, if a golden lord does not rise.
I look to the stars now, with the old scrolls burning runes across my memory. And I see my own hands as I write these words. Erebus and Kor Phaeron speak the truth.
My hands. They, too, are golden.

Kinda a derp of my part, not sure why I put organic instead of "animal" or natural or something like that.
Although on the other hand life never is 100% organic, even we have metals and other elements in our bodies, and Tyranids are known to incorporate adamantium in their bodies.
And there is the quote of the Harlequin codex that states that Tyranids are made of weirder stuff than flesh and bone or something like that.

If Chris Pratt were nearby, I would ask him to tame it, then I would keep it as a pet and take it to the park. I mean, they're close enough to raptors aren't they?
If Chris Pratt were not nearby, I would gak my pants and die (in either order).

Strictly speaking, 'organic' just means 'contains hydrocarbon chains', so...
