i think it's a catapulting unit: you can load in banes/lings and catapult them into the enemy or up a ramp. useful to scout behind wall-ins and to mimic tanks throwing banes ..
21 is half the truth

a zerg pdd? u mean dark swarm? -___-


No no, Dark swarm is a spell that is stationary once cast and stops ranged attacks from hitting. This is a unit that shoots projectiles out of the sky but can keep moving while doing it, and doesn't work on all ranged attacks!

I remember somewhere Blizzard said they wanted to do more with creep abilities. Well why not add a unit that pulls a shell down over itself and looks exactly like a creep tumor? Would definitely help zerg out as far as space control.

Just remember this about the silhouettes:

Blizz can purposefully highlight areas on the silhouette (like the "hole" in the new zerg unit) to throw off our perception. I am withholding judgement on what this unit could possibly be though i do believe it will be some sort of siege unit that (hopefully) is very mobile as that is what Z needs currently.

Its some kind of burrow attack unit. Zerg deserves that. But it will be different from lurker.

The tank beetle from starship troopers, shoot fire...
It's an entirely different insect, specified to AA, that shoots blobs in the sky, which already looks uncomfortably much like the spore crawler.



It looks like a Roach using the concept of the lurker of burrowing down, but instead gaining a siege overground attack. Much like the spinecrawler.
SC2 Archon needs "Terrible, terrible damage" as one of it's quotes.

it wont be lurker like, the baneling already fills the roll of AOE vs marines (however poorly) i do belive it to be seige like though

IMO it would be pretty stupid to evolve Zerglings in to Banelings and then Banelings in to whatever else. Also, that picture isn't convincing and when it says "evolve" it shows upgrades to the Baneling that already exist or that wouldnt be a very big deal.
Being weak is a choice.

Neither. On the original picture the carapace is clearly somewhat separated from the claws / head, while both of those carapaces' aren't.

it does indeed look like a hydralisk morph. it has slight resemblance to the overlord with its two crablike front limbs and the back ones are not. also it has pods on its back similar to the overlord.

it could be an all-around zerg look, but it definitely has a hydralisk head.

my guess is that it can dig because of the two front limbs being more armored.

the pods probably carry something like broodlings or something.


Well wasn't the Lurker a Hydralisk morph in BW. Definitely is convincing me that it is either the Lurker, or an equivalent of the Lurker.


Has Blizzard not already stated 30 times that they wanted to give Zerg a siege unit, similar to but not necessarily a copy of the lurker?
