It's a supercharged baneling that needs to burrow before it can detonate, just kill it or move away from it.

What I really wouldn't want to see in HotS, putting the storyline aside, is:

- Missions based on introducing one specific unit and that certain unit will be crucial to complete that same mission. This model is too basic and simplistic; it lacks creativity and becomes predictable.

- Too much focus on Kerrigan as a hero unit and abilities. I would prefer to control massive Zerg armies instead of walking Kerrigan around launching fireballs.

- Unidimensional missions that can't be approached using different tactics; playstyles and unit compositions.

the big twist was her not turning human but regaining her free will

Does anyone else feel like the story in HotS will be redundant if all Kerrigan does is regain her zerg powers? I mean, the whole climax of WoL was that she became human again. Theres gotta be some big twists in there somewhere.

Regarding the story, here's some ideas thath I think that could, at least partly, save the story:

What if it turned out that Jim Raynor is actually crazy. The man lost it. He istruly becoming a terrorist and fighting for nothing but his pride and distorted sense of reality. He attacked and killed the Protoss to steal resources and artifacts. He invaded a prison and released dangerous criminals into the sector. He almost killed all his crew in Supernova due to his ambition. He showsno respect for the Hyperion crew. He sacrificed thousands of mans in Char for his ego. He killed his best friend to save the most hated creature in the universe, responsible for the death of millions. He's insane.

Matt Horner will finally realize this and he will have to put an end to Raynor's madness.

Moreover, Zeratul was never on the Hyperion; there is no prophecy; the Queen of Blades in not the key for anything. Raynor invented this distorted reality in his mind to substantiate the importance of Kerrigan and to justify/deal with the fact that he still loves this monstrosity. He lost all touch with reality. He's no different than Mengsk.

There could be several reasons for Raynor's madness, for example:

- He can not deal with all that is going on. The war, He simlpy lost his mind.
- He is infested.
- Tosh is messing with his head
