It's an infested destructible rock. Name set to change (except the destructible part)
(all rights reserved by D.B. )

It takes terribleterribledamage to kill so it acts like a meatshield. It also retains the destructible rocks ability to be always on the way and especially on Blizzard maps to be in compeletely random places. From the same people who brought you the multi-award winning dragoon AI.
Also the amount of destructible stuff on maps is to increase to make this new unit viable.

Lore:
"Both the hydralisk and rock are very slow, brown and boring units. Therefore it's only natural that sometimes they mate by mistake. This in turn infests the destructible debree. "

Maybe this is a tankier aoe unit, and they will remove/nerf banelings? Would play into reactionary zerg play with roach and this being good in different scenarios, but both tanks for their hydra/ling friends.

It's our siege hydra roach ;

Or maybe (I wish) some sort of evolved lurker...

How to create a new zerg unit

[image loading]

Fig 1 : Take a biologically correct existing insect, in this case an ant

Fig 2 : Flip a part of its anatomy so it doesnt look like an ant anymore, in this case the abdomen

Add zergish features borrowed from other models to give it some background using existing evolutionary zerg lore.

New HOTS unit, we are the best.



(Yes, i do like the fact that there is rectum twice in my picture)

Concept art from forever ago for a HoTS unit. It's not a baneling. Parhaps it is something similar to this.

Are you sure it's not a Baneling... because it looks an awful lot like a Baneling...

Lol I was about to post this.

No tbh I dont think it will be a direkt main combat unit. Its back looks either like huge carapace or ballon (filed with some kind of gas). I would bet on a siege-tank-like unit.

An upgraded version of baneling would make no sense, since baneling are upgraded units themselves.

I think it's going to be a mix of a beefy unit and long ranged attacked. It looks like it has a claw + a blunt type arm that looks more like a morning star.

Overall, I think it makes sense as a mutated roach.


Both arms have claws. One just doesn't look like it cause the black body is covering the black arm. Derp.

Looks like some kind of upgraded baneling or hydralisk, based on how Blizz have said zerg lacks a good siege unit (other than BLs) for awhile, I think it's likely that it is a siege unit.
