The thing on the back is a jet pack. They are sorting out the slow off creep movement of hydras by letting them morph into reaper-lisks.

It's going to be awesome.

Ohhh that could be it too. Those huge claws could be used for climbing.

Zerg is the only race without cliff mobility right now.

Zerg should not have a siege unit. Why should all races have a ground siege unit? Zerg have broodlords, they shouldn't have another siege unit. It better not have more than 6-7 range.


I hope its a anti light siege unit, and that they remove the collosus. 7-8 range should be fine since its for attacking light "closer" ranged units. pray pray pray.

looks like a slow moving artillery sieging unit. that huge spider like thing on its back seems like it shoots spore cannons or something from long range. it also seems extremly bulky and its arms look like its not meant for meleeing. so it has to be a siege unit similiar to tanks. i hope this is the case.

if this is a siege unit then this would be a perfect defensive unit for zerg to set up there expos alot easier. it will also help on those maps to where its impossible for a zerg to take a 3rd or 4th because of how hard it is to defend it.


im thinking its a morph from the hydra or roach. more likely hydra tho because of the shape of the head.

It could be the infestation thing from campaign that goops shit up and does AOE damage and if bio units stay under it too long they become infested O__O

No, it's way more likely that it will be more then 1 due to other units removal

I think at the end of the day it will turn out to be a lurker. Even if it doesn't exactly look like one, even some of the original SC1 units doesn't look exactly the same on SC2. Besides the lurker is already one of the units showing up regularly on Heart of the Swarm game play vids, and was already used in the Wings of Liberty campaign. Also it can be read in Blizzard Q&A's that there is clearly hinted about the return of the Lurker.

No only thing that is confirmed is that they are letting us see 1 silhouettes from each of the races, and they will show those units at Blizzcon.

Hopefully their will be more
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

Looks like an upgraded roach to me. Roach has the jawbones silhouetted on the image (bit larger now) and the foot spread is very similar. Also, roach focuses on its "carapace", and since image shows a bigger carapace, i guess its an upgraded roach.

I could see how making hydras evolve into not lurker (old unit) but a new type of siege fitting SC2 would both force hydras more but also make people find more use for hydras, maybe even without the range upgrade depending on build.

If you compare it to this, the new unit looks like an evolution of the roach. Perhaps a siege type unit which shoots stuff over its head. As a zerg player, I hope it also attacks air, since zerg is lacking quite a bit in that regard.

is it only me or the shield remind a creep tumor?
perhaps a sort of siege unit who moves burrowed, act like a creep tumor (spreading tumors like a queen) and do some sort of long range dmg? slow as hell ofc...

Does nobody think it could be some big ass turtle? The claw and the shell on its back look like they could close together around the body. Perhaps it can go into a defensive lock down mode where it takes little damage.


This would result in it being a siegebreaking unit: run forward, take "aggro", turtle, stream zerglings in. I doubt Zerg truely needs a siegebreaker like this.
SC2 catchphrase.
