What I saw: A monster pleading with a human attacker not to kill him because he’s actually a friend/relative/boyfriend of hers. I
made it a Tyranid because that’s relevant to my own boyfriend, even though the picture really doesn’t look like my understanding of a Tyranid.

I’ve never even heard of a Tyranid, but I thought it was a nice take on the picture. The end was a bit abrupt for me, but that’s character limits for you.

Wow, had to look up Tyranid, but very good!! It really does look surprisingly like a tyranid (from Google pics anyway.) Great job!

Also, just so everyone knows, a “Gaunt” is an abbreviation of “Hormagaunt”, it’s a sub-specie of Tyranid. Which, now that I actually see one, looks exactly like I imagined it did, the exception is the length of the claws, and that the picture appears to have no feet.
