Lurker and Dragoon are the top picks for me :D

Also has anyone ever watched a civillian die really closely? It's litterally the same animation as a marine dieing. Like, it turns into a marine to die, talk about lazy Blizzard...

Well, here's a list of best unit death animations in my opinion.
- Dragoon: THE BEST. I have always intrigued by the blue goo death animation ever since the first day of playing SC.
- Hydralisk: Cool. A Hydralisk when killed looks like a pile of pork, especially when 10+ of them die under storm. And the sound they make (aaaaarrrr).
- Ultralisk: Exploded cows with their rib bones visible.
(A honorable mention: The Ursadon neutral critter, whose death looks like a pig getting exploded.)
- High Templar: yoooooooww sound and blue traces of hallucination.

Not very good death animations:
- Mech units + Firebat: Bland, meh. And why does the Firebat explode but not run around incinerated?
- Air units except Zerg's: I know the graphics at that time were not good enough to support the "capital ships exploding and their humongous bodies inevitable descending from the sky like fallen titans" animation, but still bland. Zergs are still cool since they explode in a pile of blood.

You forgotttttteedd vessel. They are best because of the sound. After 8 get plagued and a muta comes in, the best lol.

Nothing like mass dragoons exploding to tanks in the mornin'.
I'm pretty sure that if you a drink for everything Day[9] says bejewjaler and baller you will get alcohol poisoning.

The worst is definitely archons/dark archons, especially DA. It looks like a generic death explosion from a crappy game maker program, and no unique death sound either.


Actually, the archon has an own death sound as well, however the sound file is unused. But if you extract the sounds with BWSoundUtility, you can play it. (file name: parDth00)

Anyways, my favourite death animation is when you explode a critter by clicking many times on it.
(alas, it works only in single player...)

I also enjoy the medic death animation. For some reason, being exploded into several different pieces of gore along with a pretty satisfying sound effect makes killing medics all the more satisfying.

Wow, I never knew that. I listened to the file and it actually sounds pretty cool.

This thread is totally in the BW section so this is probably mildly unrelated but when anything dies from a colossus beam it's amazing.

I love the dark Archon one as it looks like it has better graphics than any of the others so it seems out of place, probably because you rarely see it.

And as a protoss player I love the look and sound of lurkers dying. mmmm! so awesome.

All BW sound effects and death animation are masterfully done. Which i can't say about SC2, it's dull.

Fav is marine.

most satisfying to see: A stack of mutalisks, clumps of zerglings and hydras, and ultralisks

coolest to see: zealots + high templar (they just disappear =0)

coolest to hear: science vessel, observer

Love medics dying, yes the sound is a major part of that.
Other than, the most "satisfying" would be storming 20+ hydras in a battle and then having my army march through the pile of bones and blood and whatever is left. I play protoss.

I definitely think seeing a line of Terran Bio just running through a line of Lurker spikes is one of the coolest death animations because it makes sense as they just scream in pain and are split into limbs.
