They look like burrowed units to me. The middle left hole looks exactly like a WC3 burrowed crypt fiend. Maybe they're still using the same sprite as a placeholder?

Could be the holes from tank fire, which are starting to disappear.

No, they where in the hole and when the Lava went down they poped out and then started crawling outside in that direction...

I think I read somewhere on starcraftinc that they're critters that are inhabitants of the planet, and they walk around on the dangerous part, but when the lava comes up they quickly scurry up and burrow for safety...

I love these lava crabs. I know they must have scripted them specifically for this level with the rising ground, but I hope they use this phylosophy to make all the critters in SC2 (even in multiplayer) have a little bit more life to them. Not enough to intrude on gameplay, but maybe just react a little more to either the environment or to each other.

I can tell you exactly what these are!
On the lava map, right before the lava rises, little crablike critters come up from the low ground to your base and burrow. Cool little detail.

lol people never read the comments do they, even when there's not even a full page.

and btw, they're critters that hide from lava or something.

I suspected that was what they were and thought it was a really nice addition to the map.
