 Obviously, it's game logic. Same reason Marauders can't point up etc. etc. | ||

Unless the worm is sucking them through with high-tensile peristaltic muscles lining it's gullet or something... That's my theory anyway. Yup, I think I've read somewhere that the Zerg units use thier own speed, along with the peristalic motion of the Nydus worm to achieve near-instant travel. | ||

Mutalisks breathe air, fly through space. Can't explain that. Nydus Worm an island expansion. Can't explain that. Et cetera. Actually: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/Wdbxu.jpg) | ||

' Hahah, I soooo remember this meme from my lurking days haha, WP my friend. OT: You know how the Zerg units come from out of portal-like things when moving through space? Well, I think that all zerg units have this power to an extent, so when they can see a place, they momentarily channel a "worm hole" through which the worm travels to underneath its location. They move so fast because they go through this aforementioned "worm hole", thus why it is called the Nydus worm. The crazy explanation is that the snake can become insanely long and hits the ground underneath where it is going if it must, and then uses its insanely strong muscles to bounce from where it is to hit the surface under the island it is burrowing to, so it can dig up to ground level. | ||

And I always thought for some reason that mutalisks and overlords fly through space using Psi energy? | ||

So 25 seconds is time is pretty much the space suit fitting time you saw from sc2 opening. +1 for the unified-nydus-worm-hole theory Also - I think it has been mentioned that Zerg do not breathe air; how does flapping wings in vacuum environment actually help moving is another thing. | ||

I always thought the stomach lining was worm was super slippery as to have zero friction. That, combined with strong peristaltic muscles capable of generating a vacuum, would enable the creature to travel very quickly / instantaneous to the other end. | ||

-shit crawls up your ass and comes out of your mouth (yuck) -in a lot of cases when the nydus worm breaks out and is like whaaargh here i am! he will just get his fucking face bashed in, being unable to move away zealots hack at it or colossi are burning it... if i were zerg and got mutated into a nydus worm i would be so fucking pissed off.. | ||

The reason you can't see the worm in the open space between islands is camouflage.  | ||
