I actually thought that was pretty cool way of describing their lack of mouths though why they have a spot on their face for one and the fact that Blizzard just arbitrarily came up with that explanation instead of actually having incorporated it as part of the lore from the start detracts from it.
It still wouldn't be hard for me to believe that they can live off a form of accelerated photosynthesis considering the size and rate of growth of certain plants around our world.

Have you ever seen a moving plant that can cast huge psionic storms or that can move faster than a human? I didn't. The only way to do this is by eating other things. If it wasn't the case, I'm sure life would have already created a fast-moving plant.

Did anyone ever think the protoss had a mouth in that picture? For like 5 years I thought his mouth was hanging wide open and he looked like a complete retard.

Solution
They should make it 'infested critters', and make out that each tileset has a 2nd critter which lives underground. The infestor could eat them while its traveling underground and spew them out infested. If they still want them to be ranged the infested critters could spit acid or shoot spines.
haha.

It's ok, he can't burrow. The infested critter for that level would likly be infested rabbit with rabies.

i can see what you're saying and feel sorry that you had to suffer through that image for 5 years.

More importantly, why the hell did almost all Terran units in SC1 have monobrows?
Monobrow launch detected!

I can't see it. Can you draw it in paint?

i cant see it either @_@ ? but gee thats a long time to be staring at a retarded picture each time you fired it up to play lol.
Back on topic tho, in terms of lore/story, it seems a bit of a stretch of an explanation but i can let it slide. In terms of the ability itself, i'd agree with others that it needs to be re-worked or replaced. Fail summons are fail summons.

So if you were ZvP ...
Somehow you could barf up Infested Terrans?

I think its dumb, bring back consume and swarm and you get the defiler woot woot

HAHAHAHA oh my god that's halirious if this is how you saw it for 5 years (this point of view never occured to me until pointed out). If this isn't what you were talking about it's still pretty halirious.
Back on topic though I think the poll question is so poorly worded it took me a good five minutes to understand the meaning behind it. I agree though it is kind of difficult to imagine where the marines would come from. Maybe POW's, or infested terran's from an infested command center? After all the Zerg did win the Broodwar, they should have at least one infested command center.

spawn infested medics would be nice
|
According to some of the SCbooks there is a Zerg ship much larger than an overlord which can carry many overlords/Zerg from planet to planet. It is safe to assume that there could be millions if infested Terrans within these ships and that explains the use of infested terrans in all matchups. They transfered some (maybe even hundreds) into the hatchery that you start a match with. He'll, maybe they even eat them haha.
The point is lore wise they can say whatever they like. But I personally would prefer either removal of the ability or for actual marines to be captures and stored by each investor.
