EPTIt was in the alpha of SC2, but no one really used it, and it overlaps too much with the baneling.
I'd much rather see something new and interesting

That would be a replacement for dark swarm with some adjustement ? Like forcing unit to back and comeback later when the zerg unit is low on energy | ||

Maybe it could be a evolution of a Queen? (though hydra/roach evolution looks more plausible). If it is from the queen, it could be a spellcaster: remove spawn larvae, add "healing cloud"/"dark swarm'ish" AoE buff? Or, how about a scourge-launcher? | ||

Rolling around fast to keep up with the zerg army somewhat and morphing/unfurling into the depicted picture out of rolling form Either Burrowing or digging its claws to the ground when switching to siege or aoe mode or what not. This unit looks cool hope their going to add more Zerg units than just this unit though.. would really like to see Lurkers or some other Ground unit | ||

This is the unit. Plasma bug from Starship Troopers..... Blizzard will put a twist on it though, it will shoot like green slime that explodes or maybe even shoot purple balls that make creep... who knows. | ||

However this is what i would like to see: In the campaign there are droping zerg units that explode creating a small patch of creep and spawn eggs. I would like to see this creature do the same. Shoot a explosive acidic ball of creep that does a fair amount of damage. but also places creep on the ground. | ||

Most people consider the defining attribute of a siege unit to have a ranged attack that exceeds static defenses. The lurker only had a range of 6. Static defenses out-ranged it and so did unsieged tanks for that matter. A positional control unit I will agree but not a siege unit. | ||

I wouldn't be surprised though if it was an inspiration of the Plasma Bug, since a lot of the units are inspired from something. Ex. the naming convention of the units, the Warhammer-like appearance of Terran, etc. | ||
