Parasitic Infection: Whenever an INFANTRY model is destroyed by an attack from this model's barbed ovipositor, after this model finishes its attacks you may add a new Ripper Swarms unit of D3 models to your army and set it up within 3" of this model. If you do, that RIPPER SWARMS unit may be placed within Engagement Range of the destroyed model's unit, but not within Engagement Range of any other enemy unit.
It Itches!: At the start of the Fight phase, choose one enemy unit within Engagement Range of this model. That unit must take a Battle-shock test.
