Тред космічної саранчі, яка в поточній редакції беку летить на світло Астрономікона.
Малантроп – своєрідний тиранід-псайкер, левітує над землею, з'являється на полі бою тільки після перемоги тиранід і жере тіла найбільш цікавих на його погляд ворогів. Після чого перетравлюється більшими тирандіами і служить джерелом створення принципово нових тиранідських форм.
