3 little questions

[ArcherofAiur]

They're both flying and have spikes.

and are zerg units.

[mr. peasant]

well... lets use a elimination process or something like that

it cant be a warp Ray
nor a dark templar...
it cant be a zealot, or a immortal or a stalker or a hight templar

cant be a observer or a shuttle (i dont remember the name of the new unit) or a colossus becouse they're mechanical

so... it could be a phoenix or a carrier????

Or... it could be a reworked Protoss portrait. I mean, when you compare it with the Zealot portrait, the style is quite different with the latter being more cartoony/brighter.

Personally, I think it could be a revamped version of this portrait:

It could be. If it is, i like it a lot. ("old" high templar picture is also great imo).
But something is wrong with current zealot portrait. Like it's too cartoonish.
I dont like that.
In fact, most of the sc1 protoss portraits were much cooler then they are now.
Much more mysterious and dark, they hide more then they reveal.
It's more intriguing that way ...at least for me.
Zeratul portrait is a perfect example. There's always shadows obscuring his face. Real dark templar. Beautiful.
Here's some more.

Send him a PM and see if he know where it comes from.

I like the big wormy flier version. The first one. I don't like how the current BL throws down minions upon its enemies. They should at least be acid, or perhaps eggs that smears with a bit of slime and up comes the broodlings.

If it's going to morph from the Corruptor, it needs to look Lovecraftian-Horror-ish.

Not to mention the trouble that the Mutalisk no longer mutates in to anything, the reason for its name to begin with.

Your legs and arms start out rotated in development. Its relatively easy for them to rotate.

The key words there being "in development." These things don't happen to adult organisms. That's because adults have developed their arms to the point where it isn't easy to rotate them.

And you still haven't answered the question of how a Mutalisk looks like a Guardian.

The arguement that metamorphisis can be whatever does not hold water.

But this is exactly how the Zerg work. Larva don't look anything like any of the creatures they become. Drones don't look anything like any of the buildings they become. And so on.

I guess. If you somehow equate "shadows" with "cloaking." I always though the shadows made him look like he'd been scarred or something.

Gameplay matters more than names. This allows the Corruptor to become something useful after clearing the skies. It also makes it easy to keep a Corruptor/Brood Lord balance in unit production.

And it doesn't stop them from adding new morphs in the future.

See this is why your ill prepared for this discussion. Developement occurs throughout an organisms life time. Too use the limb example you just brought up your epiphyseal plates dont cease until early to mid 20's. Also your imposing artificial (and made up) boundaries on the corruptor/mutalisk life cycle. Your saying mutalisk are adult in the hopes of making this a semantics arguement.

And you still haven't answered the question of how a Mutalisk looks like a Guardian.

Im waiting for you to name one similarity the coruptor has with the broodlord that isnt shared by another zerg unit.

But this is exactly how the Zerg work. Larva don't look anything like any of the creatures they become. Drones don't look anything like any of the buildings they become. And so on.
the future.

Again until you know how things like segmentation, germ layers and folding works there is little point in debating this. It would take way to long for me to explain all the things that happen between point larva and point drone but you can rest assured that it makes sense according to development. The corruptor to broodlord, on the other hand, makes about as much sense as an overlord morphing into a zergling.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing that's taught in embryology that can possibly explain how a Drone can progress into a Zerg building.

Unfortunatly the Broodlord isnt a building. And besides based on recent footage it appears the drone in a morphing building is actually constructing the building from inside. You can see it swimming around. I would venture that it lays cellular material that then grows into the building.



But again this is all a big digression from the challenge which still stands.


Can you find one thing the corruptor shares with the broodlord that isnt shared by another zerg unit?
