To answer your question, spine crawlers cannot be dropped and they cannot go through nydus.
My problem with cutesy harassment is it feels like Zerg isn't really built for it like terran is. Terran has cliff abuse, drops, siege, fast moving reapers, helions, the list goes on.
Zerg has ol drops, but really they require two upgrades (both speed and transport) to be effective.
Zerg has nydus but it's very hard to nydus a good player's base. And if they see it, which 9/10 times they do, that's a lot of wasted money.
And lastly, contaminate is useless because it delays one building, which might be good in the very beginning of the game, but in the mid/end game, the benefit that comes from delaying one building is negligible. It would be different if you could keep contaminating, but it costs too much energy.
Just don't try to use a Nydus as the ONLY attack and hope that your Opponent does not see it, that will never work actually.
Use Nydus as Counter Attack, or if you Play Mutas for example. Harras with Mutas on nat. expo and place a Nydus in Main Base (or other way around) thats so much Pressure for most People, they have to Split Army up, and Terran with Mech is sooo slow.
Or Nydus in one Base, so often People send their WHOLE Army to the Nydus Place, then you can attack somwhere else. Imho Mutas + Nydus is very dangerous.
