You need peons for mining, obviously. But what do you think is THE most important unit facing all matchups.

Feel free to include units that I may have missed.

it really depends because people use different strats for different matches.

I would say for each race:

Terran: Tank, used in 2/3 match ups almost every time, and sometimes in the 3rd

Protoss: Dragoon/zealot, the core of a Toss ground army, they always have these units

Zerg: Zergling/mutalisk, almost every match uses these units, early game through late game.

This poll sucks
Your question seems impossible.
With each unit maintaining crucial roles in the gameplay, the only debatable issue could have probably been "which is the least important unit", and we would have seen a debate between Infested Terr/Scout/Valkyrie etc.

QFT.

Though I'd make it more specific: "shit that flies that carries other shit that may or may not fly."
That's not awful writing, DAMMIT. It's perfectly sensical english construction.

Now thinking it twice, it has to be Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades. She is the embodiment of Brood War. With out her all the game lore of this game would be blah..
"Awaken, my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Queen of Blades; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me..."
"I have beheld the births of negative-suns and borne witness to the entropy of entire realities...."
