Definitely excited to see where this goes.

I could see it as either a roach or hydra evolution. I think it looks more like a Hydra with improved armor / burrowed attacking mechanic, but I think that roach evolution would make more sense as roaches. With roaches being a staple in most zerg unit compositions and eating into late game supply I would like to see it come from here.

I think it could play a role similar to the Thor, providing anti air support supplemented by a single target ground attack and adding a tanking unit besides the Ultra.

I would be kind of sad if it was a Zerg siege tank. That acted just like a siege tank and stopped to fire and did splash :/ then SC2 will become more like a vanilla every race is similar but slightly different kind of thing.


this. if this is a zerg siege tank with slightly different stats, it would be really bad for sc2. all those people complaining about how zerg is the only race without the possibility to control zone, and generally complaining about how one race is superior than the other race in this regard, need to think for one second what starcraft is about. i as a zerg player don't want a tier 2 siege unit, i don't want any unit that makes zerg more like the other races. i want a unit that makes zerg even more different. if this ends up being a lurkeresque unit, so it has to be borrowed and with range not more than 6, than i'm fine with it, but plz no siege tank copy...

I think it's a roach that mutates into an AA unit.

No chance of this thing being able to cliff walk?

Zerg is the only race that doesn't have a ground unit that can walk/jump up cliffs. Perhaps this the unit that can?

If it can hold units and burrow move / cliff walk, that'd be awesome.

As an Blizzard insider, that is roaming the TL.net forums I can tell u, that there will be at least 3 units released for every race. We feel like Proto..... HOW THE FUCK SHOULD ANYONE KNOW THIS HERE?!?!

Judging from the head, it looks like a hydralisk mutation. With reference to the size of the hydra's head and its body it looks to me like a slow moving, massive siege unit.

Like slow hydras off creep, except with a siege cannon on its back.

Either way, I really hope its a hydralisk evolution. Or a tier 3 unit that shoots up. =p

As much as I love the lurker, tvz is gonna be insane if its added back. Burrowed baelings + infestors + roaches + lurker........ No way you can have enough scans for all of that.. Your essentially forced to tech ravens no matter what. (I guess in retrospect this isn't too bad though as you had to get sci ves in tvz bw no matter what anyways even if they didn't go lurker.. <3 irradiate :D )

Perhaps a long range siege unit but with very slow projectiles that you have to aim yourself? More like a spell. XD

If it's armored then all I can think of is that quote from state of the game: "Something else for the marauder to shit on."

On a different note, I'm more interested in what it does than what it looks like, call me crazy.

Even though the head looks like the hydra's head, I still don't think it's going to be a tier 3 unit - which makes it more likely to be a roach evolution. Tier 2 is where zerg lacks diversity on the ground.

You guys are all wrong, what you think is the head is actually an arm, the head is what you guys consider the tail.
