Speculation: it looks like that front thing is a claw for digging, maybe some kind of roach evolution that abuses the burrow mechanic?

Whatever it is it needs to be nerfed, its obviously op :-P

Roach with hardened carapace, taking max 10 damage from all attack sources?

Seems like a siege unit to me... probably spitting long range acid from the back.

I can see it being a siege unit, I would of liked lurkers back but it looks better than the hellion transformer that was already teased.
I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country - Nathan Hale Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once - William Shakespeare, ‘’Julius Caesar’’

Its a lurker, but its attack is like a spine crawler rather than a sunken colony.

i guess it's some kind of lurker, a unit which need to burrow to attack, but still be visible because part of it (the back) will be out of the ground so it can shoot - a zerg siege tank. i'd like that

If this thing just shoots projectiles from a distance I'm going to be dissapointed.
I think esports is pretty nice.

Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

It really looks like some sort of zerg tank. Notice the huge bio cannon on the back. I might not be surprised to know that this a siege unit for zerg. I hope I'm wrong and this is a redisigned Lurker :p

I'm thinking this as well. Something lurkerish, maybe, but builds off the roach's niche.

Is there any weight to the theory that they're all gonna be upgrades of previous units? The previous one looked like an upgraded hellion, this could well be an upgraded roach. Upgraded Stalker next?

This would fit with BW where lurkers, devourers and darchons were added (although in fairness among other things)

I wonder what the giant mass on its back end is.

The mandibles on the side of the head look like a hydra's. If you look at the shape of the head it looks slightly like an old hydra's head. Maybe a redesign of the lurker? Seems to me like a new morph of the hydra.

It does indeed look like an evolved Roach to me.
