    If Blizzard decides to make UU, wouldn´t it be cool if the Nydus Worm were the Zerg UU?
    Just think: it could have tons of hp, eat ground units, bite pieces of buildings, transport a whole swarm of zerg anywhere... If air units start to attack it, it could just bring some hydras or dig away. Maybe it could also have an earthquake-like abillity.
    I liked so much the looks of the NW that this idea came up.
    So, what do you think?

    Nope the big eating worm would just be another huge ground unit like the ultraboy.. what we need now is a big queen bug in the air maybe the size of the ultralisks flying and spreading infestation.... nydus canals arent up to the tasks of anihalation but just transport modules... but looking at its appearance its not so bad, but maybe its kinda bit too slow or un natural for a zerg UU to be an underground freak lol

    It would not be good because how will the units get out when its moving to get the Target.

    how about not having any UU, wtf. instead lets focus on training and gaining the skill to micro our units as opposed to creating a single unit with retarded powers and cool visual effects.

    UU don´t necessarily make the game less focused on skill, and they have a great chance of making it more fun.

    A Zerg ultimate unit really wouldn't fit. They are the swarm, they live on mass numbers. Its why they didn't have a capital ship in SC1. An ultimate unit would be very out of character for the Zerg. Besides in the Blizzard Wrold Invitational they said that they had no plans to give the Zerg or Terran an ultimate unit.

    Off course they would fit, but I guess ONLY if they were the nydus worms, simply because they would bring the swarm with them. Actually, the NW main strengh would be to transport the swarm, not to fight alone as a capital ship can do. The story could get more complex, as the zerg would try to have a NW in each planet, knowing they´re such ferocious beasts that they end up killing each other if in the same planet. It´s just an idea.
