Yeah, I actually want the wings to stay. It's the running animation for me. It looks like they're skipping or hopping, instead of running in to kill/die like they're supposed to.

Personally I love the Ghost redesign/concept of the ling and at BlizzCon I brought that up with Dustin. Who knows what may come of the wing design.

Uhm. The ling design makes complete sense.

The Zerg is a hivemind - and they were meant to be insect-like from the beginning.

I only ever see lings when i see zerg units in sc2. There's never another unit. I like it. Zerg is about the swarm anyway. And lings with wings; allthough they can't shoot i can see them jumping on top of air-units and chewing on it while it keeps flying. And if you try to shoot the zerglings off the plane, you hit the plane too. Yeah!

the Zerg MUTATES their units from other living things by acquiring and modifying their DNA. I dont think a random elephant being infected should turn to an insect at all. Or grow wings for that matter.

Zerg never reached earth therfore they never assimilated any earth species.

And the way the zerg works is they take say a frog's ability to jump and cross it with say a cougar's cunning and top it off with some sea creature's spines, etc etc.


They breed the best species for the task, which is why zerg should have the most changes out of all the races since they are constantly evolving.


Zerg are sort of like a cross between 'The Thing' (movie) and 'Borg'(startrek).

I always imagined them exactly as they appeared in the Brood War intro cinematic. Savage dog-like aliens that are unrelentingly brutal in their attacks.

This looks pretty much exactly how I would have imagined zerglings from SC1 if they had bigger models.
[image loading]


If I had any gripes I'd say the teeth would be a bit smaller since it doesn't look like it would make the sound we're familiar with and the nails/claws seem like it would look more aggressive and brutal if they were more curved. But that is really just splitting hairs as we wouldn't really be able to see any of these smaller details in the game given how small they are in game. You get the overall idea though.

that's almost exactly how i would imagine it, except in my mind zerglings would be a bit more elongated.

I would be inclined to agree with you. Not by much, but yeah. I would have imagined them a tad longer.
