    Look at the top left of the picture. You will see this large unit with a six sharp spines coming out of a green goo covered middle part of the unit. You can also see what I think is it's reflection on the creep. And on the reflection is almost looks like a green cocoon, like those caterpillar cocoons.
    Tell me what you think. I've heard things about the spine crawler, and I think this might be it.

    I think that you can also see a Queen next to the main building. I'm wondering which level she is in.

    That's a Baneling Nest. Enables the Baneling mutation.

    Let me ask a different question about the same screenshot: What is that large thing that is a little bit left of the center of the shot?
    It looks more building-ish than unit-ish, but I still don't recognize it.

    this is off topic but lol i thought there were insects on my screen, i tried to get rid of them twice but it was just birds flying in your signature. yeh, im in a dark room. ^^
