I don't think it'll make sense for it to be a seige tank like unit. Cos then it'd just be a replicated unit but under zerg instead.

But i get that its ranged. Maybe its a seige/caster? Like it can spray something to corrupt buildings? IDK.

Maybe it can spew creep? from a distance? Or make a bridge over cliffs or open spaces so that zergs can rush from unexpected directions? That'd add a new dimension to zerg gameplay.

Nope, two each for terran and zerg

But realistically, I hope it's some sort of upgraded ling that can't attack but can fly. Early game scouting ftw.

Isn't zerg the only race that doesn't need one? how much AOE do you think zerg should have? fungal? Banelings? Ultras?

Honestly, this better be an AA-splash unit with melee ground attacks.

Infestors and ultras dont control space or contain bases like a tank or colossi can. It's not about AOE.

here's another idea that no one has come up with yet (that I have seen)...

what if its some sort of transport for units. like, if it can carry banelings/zerglings and has increased health/armor so that breaking terran contains would be more interesting...maybe even if it dies it can still release the units inside the transport so that they can still fight.

or maybe it could be a cliffwalker (zerg has no cliffwalkers yet) so that you could transport zerglings/banelings up cliffs past FFEs and stuff.


This idea sounds interesting.

I still think it might be able to spew a bridge though. But that might imbalance the game by quite a bit imo.

I really hope it's a Zerg version of the Protoss Reaver from BW... Hybrid reaver ftw? Nah, the OP did a really good job with his interpretation of the unit, I would not be surprised if he is correct.

As long as it's not another meelee unit I'm happy.

Not sure why there is so much resistance for Zerg to have a ground siege unit in this thread. It's not as if it's going to be a replica of the siege tank.

It does actually have features that are clearly both like a hydra and roach. Look at the arms, they have the bowed fore arms with the reverse facing spikes at the elbows just like a roach and distinctly not like a hydralisk. At the same time the Head and mantle are clearly that of a hydralisk with the cobra like mantle, the pointed head and distinctive mandibles that scream hydralisk and lurker. I think its blizzard covering their bases and making it as ambiguous as possible to keep people guessing, but given the state of the hydralisk it at least morphs from it if not some kind of bizarre merging and morphing of a hydalisk and roach.

The unit itself is probably going to be some sort of revamp of the lurker in that it'll be a more gas intensive unit that has a ranged attack that can attack while burrowed. Hopefully it'll be a very supply dense unit that costs a lot per point of supply but is much more powerful in comparison to units like roaches hydras or lings per point of supply. I don't think it will be the lurker with a new model as it since Blizzard stated they already think that banelings fill the lurker's old role.

I don't really know if they will be giving Zerg yet another Missile unit. It kind of seems like it might be a unit that is an evolution of the Roach, like many said. Although I would love to see Lurkers, we already have Lurkers in the game engine, and they don't resemble that silhouette at all :$

Could be roughly inspired by the Tyranid Biovore from 40k. (SC2 bear a resemblance to 40k? Never.)

[image loading]

Biovore being, roughly, biological artillery. The 40k version shoots out biological mines, they explode if they hit. If they don't they wait to explode, denying part of the table.

Would be pretty cool if it was fairly close to that, or even only moderately like it.

Or we could be going about it all wrong, and it might be a roach evolution with a hellion-ish attack.

I think this is a roach hydra baby.

Basically you need roach and hydra to make sweet love, not like those gay high/dark templars and the roach and hydra make a hydroach baby.

HYDROACH! It can do everything, including solve a rubix cube.

Best one yet. I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the slower moving units based on it's size and how heavy it looks.

Looks like a big "cannon" on it's back. So it's probably ground, slow, and hard-hitting OR long-range.

I hope we will get raptorling upgrade for multiplayer (10 extra hp and charge).

Always annoyed the hell out of me that terran got academy upgrades for free while adding combat shield and then zerg got nothing except a reduced model size.
