Zergs generally dont attack with the "legs" they walk on ... they all have extra "armweapons"

Edit: other then that ... yes, looks like it

The more I look at it, the more I see it. It feels like a Lurker with the ability to burrow and spread a small area of creep.

Wouldn't that be nice?


I'm all for more creep mechanics. I have suggested for a creep bomb ability for the corruptor. At least ONE unit other than the overlord should utilize creep.

The back looks like some sort of nest, where little broodlings or (equivelent) come out with range attack.

The problem with these things is scale. We don't know how big these units really are...

why does zerg need a siege unit? Seriously not too impressed with these new units but who knows what they actually do.


Because of the 3 races zerg is the only one that does not have a ranged siege unit...


You mean the colossus? Broodlords could be considered as siege units in that case.

Looks like a roach upgrade that has a huge cannon on its back. Siege unit for sure.


yep thats exactly what i was thinking as well, the way the thing on its back is positioned it looks like a cannon, and the rest of it looks like a roach

its a supply depot it burrows so hellions cant run by


I legitimately think this is the closest guess I've seen. I don't think it will provide/cost supply, but I could see it being a unit with high hp/armor that can be burrowed strictly for walling purposes. I think it looks a lot like a hermit crab, myself, and think it could burrow behind that big back shell to block areas off.
My name is Mike, and statistically, yours is not.

Looks like siege to me and a mix of the hydra and the roach.

Interesting.

Must be a roach with more destructible rocks ( i know the idea is from the terran units thread^^)
extended thermal lances aka extended imbalances

This + hydra head leads me to believe its going to be a lurker which shoots a line of acid rather than spines.

It could be like a zerg version of the thor. Light air AoE damage and a utility based ground attack like marauder slow.

Thats a great analysis, other than the Hydra part, I think it's a Roach. The front claws are straight from the Roach and the front legs are thicker and more sturdy, indicating stability for sieging up. The ability to shoot Banelings would be weird and amazing.

Looks a lot like a biovore for Tyranids in 40k, and if the comparison holds, it's a slightly immobile long-range artillery unit.

From what I've heard the devs say isn't a siege unit the thing that's missing from zerg? (in their eyes)
