The left unit is a protoss unit I call Ribomainu.

The idea of this is that it should work as a siege unit. It is slow as fuck and to be able to attack it has to burrow partially. Its attack is a dud that deals area damage and you have to build duds (up to 5, or up to 8 with de upgrade). It deals a fuckton of area damage. This unit can be loaded into the warp prism.


The unit at the right is a zerg unit I call Firebreather.

It does have a melee attack but not very good. Its main role is to cast the spell firewall. This spell consumes energy, but the Firebreather can consume other zerg units to replenish its own energy. Firewall does create a firewall on the target area during a period of time. Units passing through the wall take burn damage over time.


I was designing a terran unit but got bored. It was a random shit that would transform itself into a fucking mecha. Very original.


There you go, no need to thank me for saving SC2.

Immediately as good as anything Browder and Co. have thought of.

Their design process:
"This unit can become other units!"
"This unit can pull units!"
"This unit can spew out new units!"

Hahaha, the Firebreather DOES look like a grasshopper!

Interesting units, OP.

Ribomainu stems from some sort of Japanese anime or is associated with Korean culture I would assume as it isn't a word.

Yeah protoss needs more AoE. Great Idea.

Fun but not reasonable.

I'm 99.9% sure they do not say "nu" at the end =_=; not even Japanese people say mainu..
U ending (although it's "eu" ending technically, arguably not even that since there is no English equivalent) only occurs when a non-nasal consonant occurs during romanisation, i.e. anything that is not -m, -n, -ng

Love them both more than any of the HOTS units. I can imagine some sick micro along with the firebreather. Imagine the damage one of those firewalls could cause in a mineral line! They could be used like force fields to "trap" fleeing enemies but cause damage instead.

For the firebreather maybe instead of spitting a continuous line of fire have it spit balls of fire in an arc, so opponents have some way of microing against it?

A zerg unit shooting walls of fire? Does not compute. Also this protoss unit is just a weird mix between siege tank, carrier and reaver.

Inasmuch as we don't know the units' specs such as cost, damage, speed, etc. I can't really say anything about their effectiveness.

What do you mean does not compute?

Remember the fire beetle bug from Starship Troopers? Hell, a lot of Zerg is reminiscent of Robert Heinlein's bugs. :p

Unitception. There, I said it.

Also, I will only appreciate these new units if they have this voice (either/both of them):
