The only thing I knew before is Protoss = first born, never knew about the rest. (maybe except the names as well)

Thor being the God of Thunder, Odin being the God's Father in Greek Mythology.

Aren't you messing it up with Nordic Mythology?

I thought that it's well known that protoss race is based on Greek myth and Terran race is based on Norse myth.

Protoss needs a unit like The Kraken. Imagine this: whenever the unit is being made, there's an alert (like nuke warning) that says: The Kraken has been released. Screw the mothership, give us the Kraken


Well obviously that would be a unit for Zerg. Release the Gracken!

Blizz often do homages to other games and fantasy or sci-fi franchises, its a little nod to their heros.

And i love all the mythology stuff they use.

The goliath to me doesn't look like a walker from starwars, looks more like one of these bad boys....
