Considering terrans from the mother planet already made an appearance (UED) and had the same technology then you can rule them out o.O Also the protoss already rose up and fought the Xel'Naga so they would have recognized them.

Xel'Naga were much more advanced than the protoss. Terrans are not.


Unless they manipulated time such that they de-evolved themselves into Terrans in order to lay dormant until the Protoss and Zerg hybrid race could be created, at which point they would accelerate their own evolution and lord over the new hybrid race until they could merge into them, thereby creating the perfect continuation of the Xel'naga.

Definitely sounds like something Metzen would come up with =]


Errr, ok, but WHY? Why de-evolve and then re-evolve (with added redbull acceleration), when they could just remain dormant as they were? How would de-evolving help?

Also, nothing like this makes sense in the timeline. Humans are a new species. It's practically 500 years from when we got to the age of space travel. 500 years! That's... weak man! And then Duran can be an android (but not created by humans because he exists when humans weren't even standing up right), or he could just be a superior life form who can take the shape of a human being. OR just be able to reincarnate in different species and such.

Really, terrans suck most in the SC universe, they should've been wiped out a long time ago but I guess our passion for our race kept the writers from killing us off. Come on, we don't even have basic teleportation technology, or battlecruisers get raped by zerg like there's no tomorrow, and so on. What weapons do we actually have besides from OOBER BEACONS?


you forgot about the ION CANNON!

Naga means snake, ergo they are a reference to male genitails, and since the Xel'Naga they are more "perfect" than the zerg, (that we all know is the female race) then obviously Blizzard is being sexist again. Where's my lawyer?!

I remember reading in the SC1 manual that the Xel'Naga created both the Zerg and Protoss. Protoss were perfect in form; yet the creation was a failure because of the struggles between them. So they created Zerg, perfect in essence; but they turned against their creators and made them flee. The theory about the Xel'Naga splitting or becoming the other two makes little sense.

Duran can either be with or against the Xel'Naga, it's not clear from the bonus mission. He said there were many, many more Stasis Cells with hybrid creatures around - that would kinda be strange if he only were a rogue. He doesn't seem to be Terran or Zerg though - in fact, I don't think Terrans have anything to do with the other races.

ok here is the official theory


we all know that zerg used to be just larva yea... well the thing is, the protoss could be xel naga's outside form and the zerg internal parasytes who got really smart and one day was like "lets work with the outside form and be uberpwnagepedobear" but then it backfired cause when the xel naga relized that they had internal parasytes they made probes to pull them out of their asses , but , that back fired as well cause they got dumber and forgot everything and hallucinated (does happen when you pull stuff out of ur ass ...try it ) and turned into the protoss. SO now everyone is waiting for that prophecy foretold day , when a zerg manages through chance to crawl back inside the ass of a protoss.

so thats the official theory, comments, questions, constructive critizism all welcome

sorry if i spoil to u guys but if u read Starcraft:The dark templar Saga in the third book it explains that zerg and protoss are the Xel naga just in seperated form and at some point in time will join together to give rebirth to the Xel Naga

P.S: I just gged your thread


Unfortunately, someone else tried to GG this thread with the same thing that was taken from the exact same book with more depth than yours. And still, others don't exactly comply with his ideas, so why should they listen to you? Next time, skim the pages of the thread before posting, just incase you find redundancy.

And after reading this thread, my brain now lies somewhere on my floor.



AWw your no fun but in any case thats what is i mean the books were made for a reason ^^

Err, at 2., the Terrans werent aware of the infestation. Protoss destroyed the planet (Sister of Mar Sara i think, cant recall the name) because of the Zerg infestation and the Terrans got pissed at this because of Protoss 'blatantly' attacking their world.

Terrans probably have nothing to do with Zerg and Protoss with their origins many many lightyears away (Cant remember how many years the outcast were in hibernation but it was long enough)

and yeah, maybe theres more than 1 Duran out there, working in secret in the big universe. btw didn't Zerg Destroy the Xel'Naga entirely?

EximoSua needs to learn that the Lore of SC is not written in stone, they could come up with some lame excuse and all those books that ur saying could go right to the toiled, but if that make u feel important then hey go ahead keep thinking that.

Chris Metzen is the only one that has the last word on the actual lore of the SC universe, period.

It doesnt make sense that the Terran where or are Xelnaga relative.


Exactly, don't be surprised if they change this all the time if they think it will make for a better game.

just thinking the same thing but a little differently
what if...

a SINGLE terran was making the zerg and the protoss race
he made the protoss prototype (X'el Naga) and it stole the zerg specimin making it
hostile and then they made the overmind.
then they needed a race to treat them as gods so they made the neww protoss
but they backfired and now the terran is mad and...

(could be spoiler alert)

he kills kerragin and is the Zerg Master


any thoughts? thx 4 reading

You fail to explain how the definition of Naga shows any relation to the Terran race.
