    i never heard that he got defensive with the Infesters model, but i heard he got defensive with leaving the wings on Zerglings.

    anyway this is the lastest news i could find about the change in the Infesters model

    Almost all of the names are fitting on some level, if you don't know about them, then you should go an look up what they mean.

    A wraith is a ghost like creature that eats souls and can fly. SC Wraiths, are flying unit, that cloaks to kill, in other words, it ghosts them.

    A valkyrie, is in Norse myth, a female creature that decides who will win in a battle, is the gate keepers to Valhalla, and fly. SC Valks, flying female units, that in a way choose we will live or die in a battle.

    The terran units work because they are disignations.
    'Valkyrie-class frigate'
    'CF/A-17G Wraith'

    Another reason i loved the contrast between protoss and terran units, the protoss are simply named after their role (scout, carrier).

    Yea.

    Zealot is a religious fanatic. SC zlots, are pretty fanatical. The Kahla is a religion.

    Templar is a religious warrior.

    Shuttle, this one is really obvious.

    I had to dig for this one.

    But the I think that a dragoon, is a heavily armored Spanish cavalry unit from the middle ages. Somewhat fitting.
