Xel'Naga genes

a thought came to me while i was looking over the zerg history
whatever happened to the Xel'Naga dna when the zerg absorbed them?
was it only for space traveling purposes? OR! will they bring out some crazy zerg-Xel'Naga hybrid thingy from the depths of the swarm like the protoss did with the colossus?
what do YOU think?

 

I don't know... It might be a good idea.
I would like to see some powerful zerg.
Can't wait....

 

I think if the Xel Naga had "good Genes" the Zerg and Protoss would have them already. The Protoss are different since they represent a different aproach to the same goal.

 

if i remember correctly the overmind absorbed all the Xel'Naga DNA. he didnt let any off the broods get any of it except the cerebrates.

 

I think that's what the Cerebrates are actually, the Zergified Xel'Naga brains.

 

if the Xel' Naga were absorbed by the zerg they should rename it and make it "Zerg' Naga" or "Zel' Naga"

 

sorry to be off topic, but did anyone notice that theres a race called the naga in W3? "Xel'Naga then Naga?

 

Yeah, WC steals stuff from SC.

The Felhunters? Zerglings
In WoW, there's a dude called "Marshal Jack Rainoor"
I could go on and on.

 

those are friendly references to honor the other team. ALL HAIL STARCRAFT. ALL HAIL WARCRAFT. ALL HAIL DIABLO. ALL HAIL LOST VIKINGS. ALL HAIL BLIZZARD

 

Lol, that's good point.
But I thought naga itself meant a water type race?
OR
Did blizzard intend to hint that Xel'naga is a water hybrid something else race?

 

u can't really say they steal stuff. It's sort of like an homage.

 

Different teams though dude.

 

Blizzard is blizzard. it's not easy thinking of cool names that people will like or know how to pronons.

 

darn it, i hate it when people steals ideas from themselves

 

it's difficult to make cool names when your clients may not even no how to pronounce them.i myself had always said "Xel'Naga" wrong,until i watched the Terran storymode demonstration at blizzcon...and even knowing the correct way of saying it,i still pronounce it wrong on purpose ^^

@Alasdair:well,you can't really steal from yourself,can you ??and it was just a reference,like the Hydralisk in the first Night Elf mission from Reign of Chaos.they just like to pay homages to themselves ^^

 

'Naga' are actually a god-like creatures that have the features of a man and a snake in Indian Mythology (if I'm not mistaken), which explains why they used it for the Naga race in WarCraftIII (what with them being half snake half man and all). The Naga aren't a reference to to the Xel'Naga, and the Xel'Naga aren't a reference to the Naga (seeing as the Xel'Naga existed before them). Now maybe the Xel'Naga, if they're shown, will also be serpent like humanoids, or maybe it was just a name that they made up and thought sounded cool, but there is definately no link between the two species.

 

that's true, xel'naga and naga are in no way related what so over

 

but people would create all sorts of crazy theories saying the Xel'Naga were created on the Sundering of Azeroth if they look like the Naga XD

 

speaking of the sundering, did anyone read those books 'War of the Ancients'?

no? just me? oh well.........

 

i've read parts of it
