I decided I'd create this thread after noticing that I viewed some unit portraits differently for the longest time, and wanted to see other people's interpretations as well. You will notice that they are all Protoss as I started playing Starcraft when I was but a young lad, and I mostly played toss so these portrait images had stuck into my little brain.
For Example:
![[image loading]](http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080617145625/starcraft/images/4/4a/Dragoon_SC1_Head1.png)
The Dragoon
I viewed it like so:
![[image loading]](http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/5696/dramaican.png)
Like some kind of alien with dreadlocks. with the one eye being its mouth and the tube things being eyes.
when it turned out it was actually something like this:

The Zealot:
![[image loading]](http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/2203/russianzealot.png)
Which I thought wore one of those russian hats, and wielded some kind of decorative staff, which turned out to be just part of his buzz light yearesque plasma shield helmet thing.
Another one is the Shuttle:
This one is self explanatory, it looks like a smiley face. Does anyone else agree?
And Alas, the High Templar:

Which looks like a Football (American) player with his big shoulder pads.
Anyone Else?

^ I always saw the shoulder blade as a lower lip and wondered if the goofy looking alien was some sort of protoss that somehow didn't look like the other ones.

Dude, lol I thought that too, I thought he had a mouth as well, even though hes a protoss.

That is horrifying, and I will never ever be able to erase the image from my mind.

oh wow, looking at the zealot like that makes it look like it's straight out of spore...
in other news, with zerglings being so tiny, I always thought they were like little ostriches without heads or wings...

They're so tiny you could interpret it as anything!

The zealot is one of the Confederacy leaders in the Star Wars prequels.
