So I got a guess at who the Xel naga is. At least, if i were a staff writer, I would make it this way. Everybody expects some awesome and powerful alien race to be teh Xel Naga. But what if the Xel Naga is the terran race?
It would certainly be a big shocker, surprise element in the story line. Let me give you some of my reasons:
Duran is terran, but he speaks funny and is probably an android. We habitually see terran breeding zerg in the campagins. In the secret mission, it is terrans that attempt to create zerg protoss hybrids, hinting at Xel naga. The terrans we are familiar with are outcasts, so it is reasonably assumed that they are technologically lagging behind the motherplanet. I cannot think of a single protoss technology the terrans do not have in some shape or form.
Naga
http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Naga/
In Hinduism, the nagas ("snake") are an ancient race of snake-humans that brought fertility to their venerators; they were especially popular in southern India. They are Varuna's servants. Nagas live in a type of palace called Patala, many of which are in Bhogavati, an underground city. For Malay sailors, nagas are a type of dragon with many heads; in Thailand and Java, the naga is a wealthy underworld deity. They are children of Kasyapa.
So what do you guys think?

Blizzard needs less naga's in their games. Seriously.
|
That's a... possibility?
But well, we can't go much further; we do not know. Period.
|
I don't care, I want to find it out when the game actually gets released... till then, i see them as the awesome unknown alien species

That's actually a pretty cool idea.

The terran's were under Durran's command, and they were probably just ordered to defend that moon in the secret mission.
Also, the terrans were not breeding zerg. I think they were just collecting data samples or something.
This might be true, but I do not agree with you one bit. Xel Naga have to be non-human,
Think about it. That means the terrans also had to create the Protoss, and this game takes place in 2500 B.C. The protoss are MUCH MUCH older than the terran race. They had their "Aeon of Strife" at the time humans were still different species (like neantherthals).
This also means the humans made the Overmind.
This theory does not make sense to me one bit. However, I see your reasons.

Wait.. you mean 2500 A.D right?(going to assume so)
Personally now that i think about i agree with Duran possibly being an android you can hear it in the way he talks also. However them being Nagas i somewhat doubt but knowing blizzard anything is possible x.x.

Maybe terran will be the secret 4th race that is playable in multiplayer!

Christie Golden already revealed what the Xel'Naga are in the third book of the Dark Templar trilogy:
+ Show Spoiler +The Xel'Naga are a "hybrid" evolutionary combination of the Zerg and the Protoss. Through countless cycles, as the Xel'Naga know that their race must eventually come to an end, they engineer new races that hold the best and worst parts of themselves to occupy the universe during the millennia unil their new "ascension". The Zerg and Protoss are the current iteration of this "rebirth" cycle the Xel'Naga participate in, where the races eventualy evolutionally unite and recreate the Xel'Naga. Unfortunately, several unscrupulous parties have become priivy to this secret information (Samir Duran, and whoever he works for), and have made their own bastardized "hybrid" creatures, and thus threaten to destroy the Xel'Naga's benevolent aims, and all existing life currently in the universe.
So, in conclusion: no. Read your lore.

Oh god, please not Naga. Next thing you know murlocs will be the 4th race and SC will have heroes.
Naga would just make me a sad, sad panda.
We'll just have to wait and see though

Eh good point, but I agree that it is blizzard, so anything is possible. Also, I REALLY hope they wont look like the Naga in Frozen Throne

Actually protoss technology is much more advanced than terran technology. The only thing terran possess that protoss doesn't is nuclear technology.

+ Show Spoiler +Xel'naga are not a hybrid of toss/zerg.

Terran came many-a-millenia after the Zergs and the Protoss. If this storyline wants to make sense the Terran could never have gone to earth then send prisoners away to the colonies.

+ Show Spoiler +Um...Yes, they are, evolutionarily speaking. The Zerg and the Protoss are engineered races designed to eventually reunite into the Xel'Naga. As I already said. Do you have something to support your retarded ass statement, or are you simply talking out of your ass? Have you read the book?

1) Duran doesn't necessarily have to be a terran. I'd rather doubt he is one.
He said something like "I've had many names throughout the millennia". Which obviously doesn't fit for a human. He could be somehow mind-controlled by the Xel'Naga or the mind of a (or all, or THE) Xel'Naga could be in his body or whatever, or just a humanoid creation of the Xel'Naga. In his role as Duran he certainly isn't human.
2) I never saw terrans breeding Zerg. They were luring them or keeping them in prison or just letting them do as they please, but not breeding. It's not like Zerg could be bred, anyways. Recreation should be controlled by the Overmin/Cerebrates.
3) It's Duran (or his fellows that we never see) who is creating the hybrids, using terran technology and terran forces.
4) Why should those terrans he outcasts? The UED obviously reigns over Earth, and humans have settled other planets starting from earth. There is no talk about humans not having evolved on earth, so there is no reason to assume otherwise.
5) Psi Storm, Mind Control, Warping, Dimensional Recall, the list is endless. Terran technology is totally different from Protoss technology. Basically terrans still use the same stuff we use nowadays or are currently researching plus some random SciFi stuff that has "human" written all over it.

books* fyi xel'naga are not perfect, they where trying to create a perfect race yet failed. each of the 2 races both posses qualities of a perfect race. thus hybrid should produce a perfect race

I honestly can't even reply to that. That's how retarded you are.
