Crouching Collosus Hidden Templar

I think if Charoisaur‘s sensible idea to give a Collosus a headbutt ability against air, it needs a specific leaping animation for visual clarity.

I’d always imagined this as being something like a frog’s leap in preparation, and a ballet dancer mid-flight your photoshop is a fine illustration.

I would also give it another ability, I’m not sure what I would call it as of yet. A Collosus should be able to flip onto its head and start spinning around, its legs would foil out and blades would protude from its feet. Kind of like a breakdancer spinning on their head, if they had knives attached to their feet.

This would do huge DPS so would be an effective way to block chokes from units like lings, but it would take a brief deployment phase to set up so a Collosus can’t just instantly convert when surrounded. Collosus set to spin mode would be an effective defence against swarm hosts.

I think Collosus should also be able to manspread, perhaps as a /dance, ineffective in the game but a useful tool in the brutal psychological warfare of Starcraft.

I think it makes lore sense too, I mean they’re meant to be ancient war machines too terrible to countenance using outside of desperation. They were brought back into commission but their full power has been held back… until now
