Just something I noticed about the legs. The head is there because it's pretty clear where it's from. Either way, it looks awesome (as it should).


While the idea of a hydra upgrade is compelling--given the pitiful role the iconic hydra faces in the current state of the game--we should consider the possibility of this been an upgraded or additional form of the queen. The queen already has the requisite slow movement off creep and approximately the right dimensions for a siege unit. For those who are thinking that this unit is based on hydra....keep in mind that the queen has a similar attack... Take a picture of queen: move its head forward and down, its Melee claws forward, and raise its hindparts...You might get something not too different from what we are seeing.

Another possibility is that this unit is able to create some sort of defensive shield for a zerg army, absorbing the incredible damage normally dealt colossi and siege tanks--like a defiler/sentry combo. Something to ease the misery of being stuck behind force fields with lasers raining down from an ureachable distance.

Prediction: too slow to be a viable unit in 95% of games

might actually be an overlord upgrade.
the hump looks like an overlords and so does the arms.
they mentioned the overseer was pretty bland right?

It uses its claws to attack ground units and the spore colony on its back to shoot at air units. It can attack both at the same time.

After thinking about it, I do not think this unit is a Lurker or even particularly Lurker-esque.

It would be stupid of Blizzard to announce the shadow of a unit and then go with the Lurker, as everyone would guess it. If I were at Blizzard I'd rather showcase a new unit which people could wonder about.

Besides, the only thing which really hints towards this being Lurker-ish is the tunneling claws, but those are exactly alike the Roach claws so it can be circumstantial.

The shell (or whatever it is) on the top doesn't seem too Lurker-y to me. I think this is just a completely new unit, and while it most likely may be able to burrow, there isn't anything else which indicates that it functions like Lurkers from BW.

Unfortunately, this may indicate that Lurkers will not be included in the expansion, but that might be taking things too far. I really really hope that isn't the case.

Ya, because we wouldn't want Zerg to have their own version of a siege tank. Only Terran can be imba.


You forgetting the part that siege tanks suck.



ROFLOLOL?

i would love to here your explanation to why siege tanks suck. as a zerg id gladly trade infestors for tanks any day of the week.
