Its a ranged/siege unit that has to burrow to fire. A land siege unit would have big back legs for stability, this one has big front legs for digging. The top half will remain above ground and shoot like a turret. Think Hydra/Spine crawler that doesn't need creep to burrow.

Doesn't matter what the unit is. Zergs wont be happy because it will still follow zerg logic of being weak and cheaper.

QQkachu. I actually play zerg but I know my brethren will bitch.

Interesting, that head looks a lot like a hydra... This is possibly morphed from a hyda? Isn't that how lurkers worked in BW?


and how do this THING atk??


I have this theory that it rolls up into a ball and crushes things by rolling over them
it also has thing a cannon like hole on it's carapace
also I still think it could be a spidermine like unit

I'm really tired of people saying that it evolves from a roach. It makes no sense that it would evolve from a roach and have a hydrolisk head. Stop trying.

it might be a melee units that can roll towards the enemies and then opens up to deal melee attack when they get close.
probably heavy armored

Seems like this one is an evolved roach which has upgraded armor and shoots thor-like volleys of Banelings! Exactly what Zerg needed ":D"

Roaches also have little tusk looking objects, granted not quite as big but it's not as far fetched as you're trying to make it sound. Also the HUGEASS carapace on it's back. If you're going by previous units where the hell on the hydra is that thing? Where are the 3rd and 4th appendages that are on this new unit? So quite obviously it looks more like a roach than a hydra. To put it as you did "stop trying".

Hopefully the real model look better. Both the T and Z new units look pretty ugly by the silouette.

This. Looks like a marauder with a gun for a head and a bigger roach with a hydra head. Lame.

The protoss unit looks pretty lame too. Seems to be some sort of rodent creature.

I may be wrong but since many assumptions have been made, I think lot of people missed the essential point : What kind of unit Zerg is missing actually ? What Blizzard could introduce to fix that ?

I don't think it's an AA unit (because Hydralisks are very powerfull and do this job well).I think the real problem for Zerg is dealing massive dommage quickly or controling some aera of the map (without using zergling mobility -> something close to a lurker for example).

In that way and with the shape of the unit we can make 2 guesses :
- An evolved Roach with a sort of cannon on is back -> Lack of mobility but very powerfull in long range ?
- An evolved Hydralisk with a kind of "banneling" on his back who can shoot explosive dammage (splash) ?

Related to the tech-tree, an evolution of the Hydralisk seems more possible because hydra seems to be under-use actually -> blizzard should try to fix that by a possibility of evolving Hydralisk on something a little different and/or usefull in another way.

Well, to conclude, we'll certainly have an answer during the Blizzcon in two weeks.

Wait & see.

Ive been seeing a 4legged crawler, but upon further inspection i look a totally new perspective. i think its more hydralisk ask. The creature is facing straight towards us and its face is pointed to the left. The left is the claw and right under the tail part is also another piece of the claw. The claw comes out behind the creature and to the right. Omg a hydralisk evolution ? :D

Looks pretty clear that this is some form of hydra evolution. As to what role it would fill... I'm not sure. Certainly looks more interesting than the terran model. Some really interesting concept pictures in the last 10 pages or so too!
