Something I just realized: Since Browder hinted at the removal of the corruptor, that would mean a significant change to the brood lord, aka the zergs only siege type unit. But what if they just replaced it with a new t3 siege unit all together?!

It looks like it has something to do with the roach, perhaps it will morph from the roach and be able to burrow.

It will be called the Burroach (burrow + roach)

So call me crazy, but what if a roach and a hydra... merged to make this thing, think about buffing the classic roach/hydra army with a siege unit, makes a lot of sense to me.

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

Corruptors are most likely going to be taken out of the game though based on what Browder has said in the past. I have no idea how they would replace that though and this unit doesn't look like its replacement.

That looks like kind of heavy hitting slow unit, could be both ranged or melee, but I think it's ranged since the Ultralisk is already the large melee unit.

I want lurker back! Didn't expect to see it here though since Blizzard already made a lurker model in HOTS ^^. Maybe it will come to use?!

Looks like a lurker that evolves from the roach.

Well I've ultimately decided that it looks more like a hydra. I imagine the hydra's tail curls up and forms the cannon on its back, it sprouts rear legs(which would be why they look so small, I guess), and its arms become bulkier to support its own weight, becoming front legs.

Going to be some type of siege unit that is able to hunker down and will shoot energy out of the back. (Think starship troopers, the things that shoot the blue energy lol)

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

OMG that would be so awesome!

Hahahaha, Zerg get the Reavah!

I do think its a Siegeish unit.

I REALLY hope it's not a "tank" unit, zerg needs good harassment unit instead. Tank would be a waste <.<.

The claw seems to suggest that it can move while burrowed, and maybe even attack. Some kind of roach/lurker hybrid.

I think the big thing on its ass is a stinger (like a scorpion) and it will be able to attack while moving by extending the stinger

like a diamondback with a spine crawler in the backseat
