The Parasite of Mortrex is a winged terror with a genuinely horrible party trick — it swoops in, jabs its venomous ovipositor into the enemy, and implants Ripper pods that hatch and erupt mid-battle. Fast, disruptive and full of nasty character, it's a Fast Attack pick that spawns fresh Rippers as it goes and adds unpredictable menace to any Hive Fleet.
