Corripiofax is a Tyranid biomorph equipped with Feeder Tendrils at the mouth of the creature which are used to feed on brain matter.
They are also formed with grabbing hooks that can lash out very quickly and pull their prey towards them. They can lock onto their victim with deadly accuracy and will rarely miss.

Grab Attack
This unit can perform a Grab attack, sending out it’s hooks at lightning speed towards their prey. The hooks latch on and then powerful muscles pull the victim towards the biomorph.
Successful Grab attacks pull their target towards them into their Close Assault Zone but there is a chance that the attack itself can kill their victim. After a successful Grab attack, roll a further D6 and the victim is killed on a 5+.
Any surviving grabbed units, still face the same direction they were facing before the attack. Place a Grab counter next to the Corripiofax unit to show that they have just performed a Grab Attack. This unit cannot perform any more actions during this turn, as they are now busy pulling their victim towards them.
Grab Attacks can be combined with Movement actions at no extra cost, but the attack must be made at the end of the movement.
