    The protoss can blink and walk over the impassible areas, what will the zerg be like?

    Hydras can climb? Who knows.....

    I'd like to hear your ideas on this topic. :thumbup:

    ya must likely it will probably be like a zergling only faster and more powerful like the blue hound dog that was infested in the sc book legend of the xelnaga

    Or maybe they could use Overlords instead.

    I think they would have wings so they could run-jump and fly a short distance to get to the top. Then, when they jump off, they glide a little ways and are considered air units,allowing AA to attack them, until they land on the ground and turn back into ground units.

    There is another discussion thread about how the Zerglings' wings could indicate a jump down a cliff. But I am sure Blizzard will come up with something new that will be able to traverse rough terrain.

    I imagine some sort of unit that would utilize its claws to pull itself up a cliff or one that could jump really high.

    from what we've seen so far it seems like zerglings don't jump through cliffs, at least at current builds

    I thing the zerg will get a ground unit about the size of the hydra what has underdeveloped wings which only allow it to fly/glide short distances after jumping off an elevated area. It could have claws like the hydra that allow it to climb vertical cliffs to get to the higher altitude.

    Hmmmm. I Don't think they will make it glide, that would be a bit too confusing and strange, but when you talk about the stabbing the cliff and climbing up it is a good idea.

    gliding wouldn't take long enough for changing targetting to make sense

    The swapping types was just an add-on idea I came up with. I thought it was kind of interesting, but I do see how it would be uneeded and would just take up code. The gliding idea was described in a thread about the possible uses for the zergling's wings.

    i bet the hydralisk is ganna get a new form. the lurker will be removed and a unit that can climb walls will be added. But i bet the unit will look like some type of ultra evil spider with a slow attack rate.

    The Lurker doesn't need to be scrapped just so that another Hydralisk evolution can be added. Lurkers are original and brings interesting tactics, just like Siege Tanks and High Templars etc. Removing them would be a bit stupid.

    No removing them wouldnt hert at all. wanna know why? they would just add a new never seen befor idea to replace it and thats sturring up things abit. It would make the game looked more fancy i guess.

    it would be pretty cool if the new terrain traversing unit was a spider like thing of some sort, or maybe some kind of zergling like unit that uses its claws to climb up the walls then jump down em, both these ideas were already mentioned in this thread though

    I'd prefer if they didn't get a terrain traversing unit but something different that would make them more unique.

    How about they get a unit that can climb on cliffs and be able to bury themselves into the cliff to attack, like a cliff version of a lurker, but its attack wouldn't be as powerful as the lurker's was.
