    how about a zerg unit that is like a blob that grows bigger the more it consumes?

    you start of with a tiny thing but if you sacrifice one of your zerglings to it it grows and can eat zealots and marines and then more and more untill its eating goliaths and shrugging of seige tank blows?

    it would be hilarious to see a giant blob slowly masticating a medic ;D :eek:

    it leaves the strategic question do you sacrifice some of your men or do you leave it weak.

    its weakness would be bioloogical warfare.

    how about it blizzard ???

    just one zergling allows it to eat zealots... Do you know how unfair that would be when you play 9999 unit?

    This might work better if it just created more creep. the more zerglings you fed it the farther out the creep would grow, allowing you to save money on (car insurance) creep colonies. ;D

    True, but unless the creep increase is based on the unit size/value, it would be too unfair. Imagine carpeting the entire map with creep w/ just 50-100 zerglings or something like that.

    I like that idea. That way your base isn't choked with so many colonies.

    (corny side joke)
    Gestavil: Emperor Mengsk, we lost all our troops on the space platform. But I do have good news.
    Mengsk: What is it?
    Gestavil: I just saved a bunch of money on my hover car insurance.
    Mengsk: ...

    That would make the zerg over powered. You can just constantly mass zerglings and feed them to the blob thing and soon it will become invincible. Sacrificing zerglings isn't really wasting a lot of minerals, considering that you will have a super-powered unit later on.

    What if it was like a mobile creep thing the more money u spend on it the more creep it provides so if it has the proper escort (the blob can't attack) u could set up a base camp wherever the blob went. you could spend money on it (only 3 upgrades like the others Melle, Hydralisk attack, and carapace) and more the upgrades on it the more creep it has

    it wouldn't be too overpowered becouse its so weak at the start of the game that if you feed it too much you have no army and risk trying to defend you'r base with a useless blob

    It's not impossible, nor unfair, the damn creature will end up like Jabba the Hutt and be too lazy to even move around...! :p

    God, hell no. Anway it would have a fat complex, probably attemp to kill itslef or go bulimic, leading to its self-weakening.

    What if it goes on a diet?? Your screwed.
