If this unit can shoot air and move somewhat fast off-creep...

I'm going to cry tears of joy.

Working on a rough model based on the silhouette. I'll post it when I'm done.

A baneling launcher would be completely OP against terran period and would force mech/or air terran every game lol. No real way to micro away from a baneling shooting siege unit. How hilarious would it be if it was a zergling launcher and seeing zerglings fly through the sky.

And how do you micro away from tank shots in TvT?

As someone pointed out earlier, it's most definitely a Hydralisk evolve as the head is clearly a Hydras. My quick Photoshop skills proves that!

I'd say it's a replacement for the Hydralisk (air attacker, but faster and with more hp).

I think it could easily be a spellcaster unit ... the "launcher" on top of it could be for slinging spells.

Plus Zerg have effectively one less caster unit than T and P.

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?!


ummm they could remove the corruptor and make Blords come out of Mutas. And the Blord is fine as it is I think so I don´t think ti will get tweaked much


I really don't think they'd let the BL morph out of the mutalisk. Imagine out easy it would be to mass BL's once you already have ~30 mutas...

Zerg should not have a siege unit. Why should all races have a ground siege unit? Zerg have broodlords, they shouldn't have another siege unit. It better not have more than 6-7 range.

Probably the equivalent of a Zerg Siege Tank, I think. Definitely not a Lurker, but probably going to perform a similar role as a positional, siege-ish unit. Actually, I'm happy that they're not just adding in the Lurker again, because if this new unit turns out to be better than the Lurker, then good riddance.

I think the big question is whether or not this will be Lair tech or Hive tech, and if it'll mean that Blizzard will be adjusting the roles of the Hydra and Roach to reflect this.


slow projectile (can be dodged), burrowing required to fire, long, long range maybe

Is it just me or does it look like a one-legged and one-handed marine with a tail? This would support SOTG's idea of a new marine unit in every race.
