Yep lings are defiantly lizard like creatures. I see scales not fur. Hell all of zerg units seem like insects of some sort so the locust design fits right in. I'm pretty indifferent to it, though I don't think it's near as bad as skate boarding protoss.
Keep it simple stupid.

I'm pretty sure the wings are purely cosmetic. That, and zerg are insectoidal - they have the carapace upgrade, remember?

I only viewed the first picture in the thread. Ling looks retarded.

You honestly think they gave them useless wings just to look cool? thats not how zerg works as a species. When they do something to their minions, its for a reason. and that reason is terrorism.

dude zanno wtf are you talking about? do you even know what a carapace is ? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/carapace

"The world's longest flight of a chicken that has been recorded is 13 seconds.

The world's longest distance flight of a chicken that has be recorded is 301 1/2 feet."

They do fly noob, Lings might be able to leap like reapers with an upgrade. How is this so hard to understand?

Err carapaces are generally found on insects I think. Are you claiming Zerg are turtles or what? And the Zerg are insects and not fucking dogs like so many people here seem to claim. Plus, looking at the unit portrait in SC it looks more like a lizard than anything. I don't love the current (well, the design that was made MONTHS before they even started to work on TERRANS, let alone the Zerg) one but I think the "vicious dog" thing everyone hear seems to love is the most retarded one of all the designs.

"You honestly think they gave them useless wings just to look cool? thats not how zerg works as a species. When they do something to their minions, its for a reason. and that reason is terrorism."

Why do hydralisks have huge fucking claws then?

nope, they are not insects.. they are a combination of different alien animal spieces that the zerg have manipulated to their advantage. the link clearly states "a bony or chitinous shield, test, or shell covering some or all of the dorsal part of an animal, as of a turtle", meaning that a carapace is a shield covering the animal, kinda like turtle's shell.
plop.

They can't be called 'alien animal species' because Animal refers to a specific kingdom of multicellular eukaryotes that exist on Earth. Calling them alien insects is just as (in)accurate as calling them alien animals.

The zerg are not supposed to look like dogs....
where do so many people get this idea.
If anything zerglings should look like giant lizzards with huge claws.

well change the phrase "alien animal species" to "alien lifeforms", if that bothers you so much. but in my opinion calling the zerg a combination of "alien animals" is less wrong than calling them insects, no matter how you twist it. im pretty sure you got my point the first time.
plop.

So that is why Blizz is keeping Zergs a secret. Zerg=turtles, terrans are so dead.
