    Mothership could be Toss worst nightmare if they decide to send em versus a Zerg opponent.

    http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Succubus

    I dont know if all of you guys knew of the existance of that unit allready, but if what wikia says it's true, Mothership could destroy a toss fleet with it's explosion (same as Thor for terrans) and if the Succubus attacked and found a mothership in a toss base.. that will be ugly :O

    What do you think?.. ;D

    EDIT: Im not sure tho if the mothership just dies or acts like a baneling, damaging everything that's around it. Damage in this case would be more if the unit's bigger, that's why of my reasoning.

    If that's NOT the case, the succubus's still a great counteroffence for the big units.

    i dont think its a real unit. I hear a lot about it but were havent gotten an official nod from blizz that it is a real unit. If it is though its gonna pwn some major thor ass.

    It's supposed to be true.. Even tho blizzard never did ANOTHER reference to it.

    well that says organic, so i guess that means infesting a MS is out of the question.

    well if u wanna counter a mother ship with zerg just use scourges. if it uses time bomb simply run away. The Time bomb stays in one place and if the mothership chase you it would have to leave the safty of the time bomb which in case scorge her ass.

    But it says organic. So even if it's real it can't infect the MS.

    I agree with burkid and capthavic - I imagine that the Succubus would only be able to utilize its ability on units like the Marine/Zealot/Reaper/Hydralisk, etc. How would one Zerg unit infest an entire Mothership??

    i read somewhere that succubi are infested ghosts (like kerrigan), so its possible that they are female ghosts based off of the name.

    Well then Kerrigan isn't that special then :p

    A Command Center is pretty much just like a MS, except without all the guns... I bet it has plent of nosepickers in it.

    A succubus is a female deamon that does dudes while they're a-sleepin'. The Incubus is the dude version.


    Yeah, the Zerg are gonna suck so very badly against the MS. Drop a Planet Cracker right on a rush, POW!! Blood'n'guts everywhere.

    Just know what I read, it says its a form of infested Terran with psionic abilities. Unless it starts out like that... even though, if the most common gender is male, why call it a Succubus?

    .....You raise an interesting point. After being infested, would it even have a gender?
    I think it's called the Succubus cause it would primarily infect males, as that's what's common like you said, and it'd be creepy to call it the Incubus.
