Really hoping for a Lurker-esque unit, which, as others pointed out, was capable of blocking movement in the area they were employed, but were not as effective in quick army positioning or being on the frontlines. This creates depth of strategy.

It's shell looks like it carries a cannon, so perhaps it will shoot instead of using spines like the Lurker. Personally I'd prefer spines, but we can't really judge it already.

I'm zerg and I want a siege unit, not sure how balanced that would be tho, considering how zerg work, will it be a wee bit to strong in sc2 ?

It really makes me think of the unit that one guy jokingly made a while back with the hydra on the roach's back. Except this kind of looks like a roach on a hydra's back.
Blizzard can have all of my money if it burrows and fires banelings out of its back.


If it does, it will be a massive unit that loads up to 8 banelings on it's back... and it can target air when burrowed... fuuuu if Blizzard does this I will switch to Zerg for good...

I have to say, both of these new supposed units look like total jokes. I hope they just took the outline of the actual units and added something to it just to fuck with everybody, because that basically looks like a lurker with a turtle shell.

Toss never get a reaver , they got to many AOE , splash units already .. get real


Dustin Browder said in the CatZ interview that the colossus should be removed and that toss need a harass unit. Two birds with one stone?

But then again, the new warp prism is pretty good harass.


Is this true? You got the link to interview?

However broodlords are going to be taken out, because the corruptors are being taken out.


If they take out corruptor they will probably make mutalisk transform into broodlords like they transformed into guardians in BW.

In star1 Broodlords aka Guardians evolved from mutalisks. So not necessarily.

Although some people are saying that it looks like a Roach morph, I have to strongly disagree with that guess.

The head is definitely a Hydralisk head, especially if you do a side-by-side comparison. The Roach head is way too different to be related, and the features on the top of this head are too similar to that of the Hydralisk. Although the front legs look somewhat like Roach legs, it also can be argued that they are morphs of Hydralisk legs.

In addition, the Roach has six legs while this only has four (from what can be seen/guessed in the picture). I think it would be illogical for the Roach to lose legs when it morphs.


Yea you're right, the head looks like Hydralisk, or even Lurker. Maybe it could be a slightly modified version of Lurker.

The head actually looks quite different from the head of the SC2 Lurker, which greatly differentiates itself from the Hydralisk it morphs from.

[image loading]

Meanwhile, the silhouette's head seems to be an almost direct copy and paste of the Hydralisk head.

I think it'll be an extremely slow moving siege unit like the Reaver.

I would love a long range siege unit as long as it didn't seem or act like a reskin of a siege tank. As long as it has sufficient zerg-feel to it, I'll be happy with being able to deny space again.

maybe they replace the broodlord with a ground unit that shoots the broodlings from that container on the back =D but maybe its just the zerg logo shining through that makes it look like it has a hole to shoot stuff

if its a turtle it could function as some kind of force fields for zerg...

Devourer?? Guardians

Changing it back to Mutalisk evolve to which ever you want lol.

Omg I hope the protoss unit comes out soon >.> I fear an announcement like "Legacy of the Void has been cancelled, and protoss will be removed with HoTS." Wouldn't happen but still.. wait till the end for the Protoss unit.. really guys.

Well, i think this unit is def. siege-type. Its one of the few things, Zergs don't have and could need.

Imo its a Hydra-Upgrade, which can burrow and shoot AOE-Dmg in a straight line, similar to the Lurker.

This is definitely a mutated hydra. The lurker of SC2. I'm 100% sure of this.
Do an arranged marriage if she's not completely minging, and don't worry about dancing, get a go-kart, cheers.
