Yes I found it ridiculous and haven't played the campaign ever since. Remove those nipples at once or I demand a refund!

During blizzcon 2015, in an informal Q&A featuring Valerie Watrous and Justin Parker called "Our life for Aiur" held in the Darkmoon Faire amfitheater, this question was raised. Valerie Watrous answer was that these were particular birthmarks that Zeratul had and no other protoss.

The real question is why the Protoss just happen to have a two gender system.

And why they aren't green from the photosynthesis.

Maybe because their version of chlorophyll is different. The biochemistry of the substance doesn't let it use green light very well, so if the Protoss have something that functions similarly but is biochemically different, it would easily explain the different color.

Question number two: do Protoss need to be watered?

We already take this game too seriously, a joke thread is nice from time to time.

But back to the topic: They absorb water with the nipples.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

I just had a thought about Zeratul in SC2 vs in BW...

Back in BW I just had the feeling like he was a lot cooler in general. His character was gruff and curmudgeonly, kind of like a Protoss version of Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino. I just don't get that vibe from him anymore. He just seems like generic-old-man-mumbling-cliches-about-prophesies kinda guy these days. I haven't really gotten into LoTV (it's been tough getting past those nipples), so maybe his character gets more interesting.

Finishing the first two missions will already tell you some about his character during LOTV. Do it, it's worth it.

Well I would say that they work similarly to Asgards from StarGate. Firstly they were having 2 genders and sex orgies and now they reproduce "carefully" to quote the guy from Korean launch wedding show
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Not an expert here, but i think having two genders is evolutionally useful. Multiple genders means you get to mix and match your genes a lot, which is obviously an good strategy when adapting to changing circumstances.

Having more than two genders, on the other hand, gains less gene mixing, but makes reproduction a lot more complicated by the necessity of having individuals of each of the genders around for reproduction. Which i guess would lead to some competetive disadvantages.

So i can see two genders being an optimal solution under a lot of circumstances, and apparently on earth most species also gravitate towards having two genders.

well with dual spiral genetical material it would be pretty hard to have more than two genders to pass on their genes.

When a protoss hits a certain age, they go through "the change". Some get a deeper voice, some get hair in funny places, while others might sprout nipples/ DDs. simple, right?

It's not an issue if you look at real plants. There are 'male' flowers and 'female' flowers and there are also species with male and female parts on the same flower iirc.

Really though, how do the Protoss eat? Or do they use photosynthesis or something? It's one thing I've always wondered.

Photosynthesis is correct actually, and this is mildly referenced in the campaign when they say something among the lines "the solar core provides nourishment for our warriors".


Makes sense


Does it?

even photosynthesists need nutrients and liquids. maybe they sleep in a nutritive solution and do all the metabolism through their skin.

Guys are you stupid? Protoss have nipples for the same reason peacocks have such colorful tails. To look better. Its entirely scientific. For same reason adepts have boobs.

Just makes me wonder why blizzard didnt give the campaing protoss girls a bigger rack. Copying so much from LoL so why not also give the fans some sexy characters to look at while palying aswell.

Also lol at you guys wondering about the science of photosynthesis and how viable its actually for the protoss race. This is a universe with psionic powers and everything. Who is to say the way protoss gets energy from stars is in any way similar to the plants on planet earth. Maybe its magical.
