Zerg Dragon

We haven't seen the zerg's new look, so how can you tell?

 

We have seen the muta, zergling, and nydus worm's graphic enhancments. If that is thier final form, then we know about how the zergs may look.

 

I am not saying that mutas and zerglings have been graphically improved every time Siege Tanks have been. But, they are pretty much experimenting a lot of things both design and game play-wise when it comes to zerg. The Zerg are being kept secret for a lot of reasons, and design might be one of them.
Also, the second Siege Tank improvement was a quality improvement, My guess is that zerglings/mutas etc look a lot better right now.

 

good thing they redid the tank, it looks like a child's toy in the original picture. The zerg will improve, but with the new graphics, a dragon zerg unit could be feasible.

Actually, the muta in the picture almost looks like a kind of dragon due to its dragon-like wings.

 

A dragon that shoots out it's butt instead of it's mouth.

Anyway sorry I got us off topic. I really doubt the lurker will be returning and frankly (braces for flaming) I don't mind too much.

 

actually, dragons would be the best idea for the zerg capital ship that we've been discussing

 

You have to basically re-invent the dragon though. It can be dragon-ish but it must be different and zergy enough that people don't feel like they're playing warcraft 4. Like give it four wings instead of two or six legs or a really really ugly head. We just want to avoid Starcraft meets DnD you know?

 

Has anybody here played Age of Mythology expansion The Titans? Every civilization had a titan and I don't want Starcraft 2 to be similar to it, because I didn't like it. A dragon sounds like a super unit and that's why I don't want dragons for Zerg, unless they're small. That's also one reason why I don't like Thor.

 

yea i guess we dont a a full fledge draogn but a zergy drgon that can burrow like before

 

zergy dragons ^^

I think they should be a flying unit, so they aren't able to burrow into the ground. Possibly a costly mutation of the mutalisk, and has a range of the guardian with ATA and ATG attack, but less powerful than the guardian's or devourer's attack.

 

it cant be a mutation of the mutalisk because there already two mabye a whole new unit all togetther

 

i think it should be a unit where you combine a devourer and a gaurdian into one unit and it has the attacks of both of them with some abilities

 

^ I like that idea. I think there should be some kind of cost, like you need to unlock the abilities it can use.

 

well research it would be the zergs power unit like the terrans thor or our mothership not super units mind you just more powerful ones that take a lot of supply/control/psi and cost a lot

 

i still like the idea of it burrowing and then attacking surface enemies

 

Maybe something that looks more like a dragonfly or pterodactyl.

Isn't a gaurdian and devourer combined just an uber-mutalisk? I don't like that idea. The thing that balances the Gaurdian is it's vulnerability to air.

I vote for an air-to-air melee unit. Maybe the mutalisk's tail evolves into a drill that injects the corrosive liquid instead of shooting it or something...

 

maybe you can evolve the hatchery into a huge a$$ dragon-like creature. or evolve something, i'm bored

 

that would be weird, but overlords should be able to land and become hatcheries

if your bored post in my "darkone is bored thread"

 

i though we were tlaking about a zergy dragon unit not overlords becoming hatcheries lol

 

This thread is going downhill fast.

The dragonny unit could have an acid spray effect...like a flying firebat. That's new and unique isn't it? Maybe too much like a real dragon...
