However, they could have a big armor bonus when burrowed to create micro (need to focus-fire them before they burrow) and interesting decision : suppose it's able to attack when not burrowed, it may be more efficient for the Z keep them on ground if the force they're fighting is not big enough to kill them. I have no idea about their attack, it could be anything from line AoE to something more dark swarmy. | ||

It's really not too difficult to see that it's obviously a siege unit. Probably upgraded from a roach or hydra, maybe even a queen. My theory is that it's an armored melee unit when it's walking, but then when it burrows it turns into a siege-like unit. Think of it like a spine or spore crawler except with a melee attack and a siege attack. My 2 cents. It makes perfect sense... I think it would be more reasonable to upgrade banelings thru a lair rather than need to upgrade hydras from a hive.. Just keep in mind that whatever kind of unit its going to be.. Its still in the Tier 1 - 3 range. So if it is some sort of hydra that means you would need an added building or hive tech to morph it., Just seems like they wouldnt add a late game unit like this, makes more sense to have it upgraded from Baneling nest after lair. + Show Spoiler + Unless they make it like a ghost where it already spawns the ability to own | ||

My guess is it's a bridge unit to allow other units to move up and down cliffs and morphs from ultras. | ||
