Protoss - Human Offspring

[Turalyon]

Maybe Protoss had a mouth once in their evolutionary history, and it vanished as it was no longer useful but the nipples are remnants of that time?

Why is there not a "remnant of that time" for their mouth then?

A mouth is a more complicated and vital system than a nipple. The latter would be more likely to have disappeared first along the evolutionary route considering how unimportant it is compared to the mouth.

or that are not nipples

[Quirel]

I'm with Drakolobo on this. Those look like birthmarks more than anything else.

[Gradius]

They're obviously nipples. The most likely explanation is that Blizz just forgot to remove them (assuming they're not supposed to be there).

VoK - yeah he does have what looks like a navel.

Could you post a pic of it?

And I think maybe the 'nipples' was simply a single mark made on one side of the body then to save time they just mirrored his left side ot his right when rendering Zeratul and the mark transfered over.

I do think that the Protoss does share something in common with humans...despite that they have different DNA or different genetic codes, or biological characteristics...but does anyone share the same agreement as me? well, I think the Protoss has a pair of arms and legs just like humans. I know this wouldn't go along with most people in discussion, but I think that the Protoss could be the fictional/imaginary 'advanced' civlization race that existed beyond universe. Or the sole called 'extraterrestial' race that had actually 'created' or somehow interacted with ancient humans from very beginnings of time. As humans evolve as time goes on, so do they evolve even more further beyond our strengths.
I'd like to believe that 'we' humans do share something in common with the 'protoss' in starcraft lore-wise, because we have a very few numbers, or just a couple of humans with high psionic powers. Where from the chart, 1.5 is normal human. This make me feel that actually humans, from beginning of time, do possess psionic capabilities, but as the human race took a different turn or path in their evolution process, their history, humanities deeds, and the world which they constructed around themselves have limit or shut down their psionic potentials. It doesn't promote or educate, or develop the powers that the 'Protoss' have because we in our world, humans are always living under total control from the system. Being told or educated the way how the Higher Power Authorities wanted us to be taught...everything we learn is only about in the little world we humans live in. But not to the 'beyond' (Everything we think we know about the world, is inside a huge box, but what does it mean to truly look beyond the box?)
If humans had kept close and maintain their stronger ties or relationship to the ways of nature (That is IF the protoss had actually taught us to use psionic powers) we would be living in peace and harmony with nature. Our world wouldn't be the world that we know today. It would be totally different, OR it may become another kind of world. Perhaps as humans with psionic powers, we would be fighting one another despite being taught by the ways of the 'Protoss' spirituality and knowledge. Just like the 'Protoss' fighting in their own world between tribes.
Now, I'm thinking about thats exactly whats happening in today's human world...you know all of us is talking about peace, harmony, justice, etc...but still despite having religion that teaches us spiritual ways of life, humans wage war for economic and political, selfish-greedy, or any kinds of evil purposes. We use our 'powers' to build weapons of mass destruction, and using our powers to expand our dominance and control other people's lives, making them see the world we 'want' them to see instead of letting them discover life and world themselves. Humans do have the 'will' power, but it alway tends to be twisted and evil...taking the 'different' kind of path down nature.
This characteristic of 'will' power although it may appear to be different from the 'Protoss' psionic powers, I think its the way how human powers had changed or shaped through the evolvement of time. We no longer have connection with the universe or nature as the 'Protoss' did. I believe that, in Starcraft lore-wise, 'Protoss' would be the higher race from us...and we are actually their children, thats been led-astrayed by ourselves for god knows when. Until they've completely abandoned us...

Um...not sure what you're getting at. The wall of text doesn't help-double spacing is your friend.

Sparing a debate about spirituality and the natural world (would get ugly very quickly), I would point out a flaw in your argument that the protoss didn't abandon us per se, considering they were only made aware of humanity when they arrived in the K-sector, nor were the xel'naga aware given the Overmind's shared ignorance. It's also pointless to discuss psionic powers in an evolutionary context because there's no real-world examples to draw from. All one can say is that because of their psionic link, the protoss have an easier time being unified than humans. Using the StarCraft setting as a whole, the protoss and zerg are exceptions rather than the rule-species like humanity, tagal and the kalathi seem perfectly willing to beat the snot out of each other.

[Turalyon]

Oh no! It seems we've just stumbled onto the biggest kept secret regarding the Protoss!

The striking similarities between Protoss and human are not just coincidence because the Protoss are really just advanced future humans brought back in time by the Xel'Naga for some reason. Consider my mind blown.

[personamyth]

what I'm getting at now is that I'd rather not waste anymore of my time just trying to talking things freely...so much for the freedom of sharing thoughts and ideas.

Tulrayon: your comment has been rather sarcastic and I don't know if your actually mocking about my thoughts and about my ideas...but from what I'm getting at is that you may think what kind of person am I? not knowing anything about starcraft? and making all these dumb founded thoughts. THanks for ruining my enthusiasm......

[Turalyon]

Going off-topic now...

@ Personamyth

Yes, I was being sarcastic and jokey but toward Starcraft in general and the direction it is going based on what has happened so far in WoL, NOT you or your ideas. Given the number of tomato surprises that Blizzard has thrown our way in it's stories recently, my comment could just as well be taken as seriously as any other "serious" discussion of Starcraft's lore. I can only wish I was wholeheartedly joking when I made that comment. Funny thing is that one would take offense at something as absurd as what I just said when something just as absurd happens in WoL (ie: the Overmind is really a slave reveal) with the only real explanation for it is because "Sc1 didn't say it couldn't happen so why not?" at yet no-one takes offense at that! Surely anyone can see how this can act as a precedent for other ludicrous things to potentially happen as well. Most people don't, so therefore I can only counter such hypocrisy with humour. Otherwise, I'd cry and rage. Which would you prefer?

Besides, ease up a little. I'm Aussie, I'm prone to making lame-ass sarcastic comments from time to time with no real intentions beyond trying to elicit a smirk. Don't take it as a personal attack!

.....and back on topic, again!
