Assuming this is an active unit similar to the lurker (burrow, unburrow, positioning) I'll take this over the lurker any day.

I would love that so much. Just loading banelings into the back of another unit that fires them off at range :D
Never gonna happen though

Looks cool at least, probably an evolution of either roach or hydra. Cant tell because the mouth looks hydra like but the size/body suggests roach.

wouldnt that be just a bad version of the lurker?


It wouldn't be invisible, and it would be cheap, hit air units too? Just guessing.


how about invisible and cheap....on minerals?

That would be my guess
Or this is a BANELING LAUNCHER


That would be so cool :D At least in the single player I definitely want a Baneling Launcher asap!

It's a hydra with a huge shield. I wish I had the graphics skill to illustrate my idea -_-.

They already say what role will it fulfill on the battlefield.. Obviously a siege tank unit

Hoping for some better AA with HotS, so this may be an earlier tier siege unit with good AA capabilities?

I hope not, we already have Queens, spore crawlers, corrupters, infestors and hydras anti air...

Not sure what it is, the terran unit was more of a giveaway, but whatever it is it looks slow...

Looks like a roach with roach saddle upgraded to me.

Will they change thr roach to a really tanky unit and make hydras a core unit? PLEASE

From the design I'd definitely wager it's NOT a spellcaster, but some kind of ranged unit (that definitely looks like a cannon-type affair on its back).

-HOWEVER-

Blizz knows the two "big things" Zerg lack are earlygame scouting and the ability to effectively pressure like a P or a T can (without halving their opponent's worker count). Perhaps this is an earlygame, light damage ranged unit? Like a fast, low damage hydra?

It might be an evolved hydra that shoots out volleys of spines over a medium/long distance (8-10). It would be similar to the lurker but more aoe. I'm also not sure if it would be required to be burrowed to attack. Just my feeling about this though.

The one sharp claw in the front makes it look like it has a mele attack? But everything else looks like something artillery based.

Just from a design perspective those claws at the front make me think it has a siege mode of some sort. They dig into the ground so the kickback from whatever it launches from its back/abdomen doesnt send them flying.

A big spike could come out of it though and dig into the ground ala the Lurker. Either way its pretty obvious its a siege unit of some sort. Thank god.

It looks like its gonna be something that either does AOE damage with the back bit being a mushroom, or its gonna be something thats tanky, possibly burrowing for added armour. If its the former it'll evolve from the hydra, and if its the latter it'd be from the roach.
