Would they be used by these other organisms as vessels to use or would the Nids evolve and become immune to that shit?
Could Nids put up a fight?

Or would they be constantly sharpening themselves against the others, making it fucking terrible for everyone else?

So like it combats them constantly to become deadlier? Because don't needs evolve to meet their current threat? They could hurt themselves by adapting to fighting these guys only to catch a bolter to the chest later on in kife and be completely destroyed by it.

I believe they would be pretty evenly matched at first but ultimatly the Nids would lose since the Flood are far more resilient and can assimilate other lifeforms much more quickly.
>The Thing
Nids would probably lose a few units before realizing something was wrong and destroying the Thing.
>Top Left
Isn't that just another Tyranid?
>Bottom Left
What's this supposed to be?
Jace Edwards
Well, the Flood goes down to being a virus or a virus like life form. I think the smallest unit of life Tyranids go to is single cells, though they have some viruses. So I think the Flood is able to infect Tyranids and that doesn't shake out well for anyone.
We don't really know how the Thing works, other than it can perfectly mimick down the cellular level and has semi-controlled growth. I'd give it to the thing, because it seems virulent enough that it could infect an entire hiveship pretty quickly if it got into contact. Though if the tyranids discovered it it's lights out.

Wouldn't what happens to The Thing also apply to The Flood though? What would stop the Nids from eating Flood infected organisms?
Yeah top left was to include them in the pic
Bottom left is The Ancient Enemy, from "Phantoms"
Leo Sullivan
Isn't The Flood just a fungal infection from hell?

>The Thing
Would probably we be able to beat it mostly since, if The Things is to be trusted (Which I remember hearing it is over the newer movies)it doesn't have much experience actually fighting.
>Bottom Left
No clue.
>Flood
Tyranids have no chance in Hell if we're using the strongest iteration of Flood, who almost casually walked over the Forerunners. Flood also have better vectors of invasion, and are known for turning a faction's own weapons against them. Integrated biological weaponry should be a peace of cake for them.
Sebastian Sullivan
Yeah, but it's slightly more complicated than that. It hijacks it's a host bodies cells, rather than actually destroying them and making new ones out of the material, at least initially.
James Ward
I guess that would give it an edge
The Nids would basically be in a race to fight their own hive fleet
What book did The Flood do this in?
