She already knows that the Xel'Naga are returning. I'm not sure if she understands that it would be through their merge, though. Would she fear the Zerg becoming the Xel'Naga? Would she lose control? Or would she desire it, becoming the mind behind a more powerful race (although, by all accounts the Xel'Naga didn't work like the zerg do, but maybe the neo-Xel'Naga would)? So many questions! | ||

Xel'Naga will make a P/Z Hybrid, them themselfs made both Zerg and Protoss, and now seek to create a third race to kill everyone else as they are not satisfied with their own creations. So that's what that person was doing making the hybrids near the end of the BW campaign... And that explains the wierd bird-thing absorbing protoss and zerg energy on Bhekar Ro... well partially... Hmm... Mommy! I learned something today! jk lol  | ||

the Xel'Naga, as a cyclic species, are not bound physically, genetically, etc....instead they are, by definition, at a certain level of sentience. Cyclically, this level will eventually be reached repeatedly over the eons of evolution by different species. The Xel'naga we know of sought to "preserve their xel'naganess" (or maybe guarantee the continuation of xel'naga) by creating the protoss and the zerg. Xel'naga purity of essence and form are surely going to be explained in greater detail, and the merging of zerg and protoss in this regard will be where Blizzard really gets to tie everything together. The whole story of starcraft will have a most epic of conclusions. As I hope it happens (but don't expect), humanity will play a role in this reemergence of the xel'naga. WE humans are stunningly complex. While the Universe holds about 10^80 particles, the human brain holds the possibility of 10^70000000000 brain states (dont explode ur brain, im comparing a sum to a complex combination). Not to sound like a nut, but to smoke DMT, eat shrooms, ayahuasca or peyote, is to explore the vast dimensions of the universe that a sober mind could hardly fathom. The human brain has such incredibly potential that is locked up. Xel'Naga in starcraft is an enigma that we hope to encounter more fully in the release of sc2. Metaphorically, I have been searching for them all my life. @_@ | ||

Not zerg and protoss merging to the xel'naga. Xel'naga is the superior race thats for sure. | ||

I'm fairly sure that Kerrigan (and Humanity in general) were unforeseen by the Xel'Naga. They didn't accommodate for Humans because they didn't know about them. Most likely, the Xel'Naga had planned to manipulate the Zerg and Protoss to recreate themselves and then throw away the left-overs. Humanity, being an unforeseen variable, are gonna come in and overthrow the evil Xel'Naga and save both the Protoss and the Zerg (mostly unknowingly). | ||

It was created by someone with a ton of knowledge of starcraft which also includes its novels. I liked his explanation of the hydrids in the tubes we have been seeing as Duran's and Ulrezaj's somewhat misguided attempts at furthering the cycle. Duran is most likely not a Xel'Naga himself and is using the help of human mercanaries to create these hybrids which obviously seems to be inferior to what the Xel'Naga themselves are capable of creating for themselves. As for the picture i think it is a Vat creature that Ulrezaj has been working on by combining zerg protoss and dark energy to create. | ||

Therefore, the attempts to create a Hybrid was obviously un-natural... which would mean the hybrid is NOT a Xel'Naga. | ||

How can the protoss and zerg merge naturally? the Zerg are unable to infest the protoss because of the khala and the protoss have no desire to merge themselves with the zerg ( enemies who will fight them to the bitter end ) and they dont have the means. Do you have a source to verify what you said? | ||

Could happen in any number of ways, for example the humans could get powerful enough to threaten the extinction of both protoss and zerg unless they merge. | ||

As we see in the SC2 trailers, Kerrigan has been hanging around an old Xel'Naga temple learning a lot about the cyclical life of the Xel'Nagas. Not only does she know, so does Zeratul. Since Zeratul is best friends forever with Raynor, he tipped him off as well!

The Xel'Naga weren't evil when they existed before, but I'm not sure if you meant the new Xel'Naga might be evil. The ones who existed previously were enormously technologically advanced but held true to the belief that they should refrain absolutely from killing any living thing. They even found the Starcraft version of C'thun and locked it up rather than kill it. Certainly they had their own motives and probably not everything they did benefited other life forms, but they didn't set out with evil agendas every morning.

Do you have a source to verify what you said? The Khala can be severed, since it was created and maintained by Xel'Naga technology and was cut off when the Xel'Naga left. It was then reestablished once a Protoss scientist rediscovered the Khaydarin crystals. I'm sure there are other ways around it than by destroying or disabling the supply of crystals, but it's just food for thought at this point! The important thing is that somewhere in the Swarm are the memories and knowledge of the Xel'Naga and the Protoss have physical bodies perfect for utilizing the technology left behind. Combine both and you might just get a bunch of Protoss bodies with the knowledge of the Xel'Naga. | ||
