The main thing is proportions. Giant heads with small bodies are the trademarks of cartoons and cuteness. Theve done studies that show how humans respond to head/body proportion.

Im not saying dont do exagerated proportions. Im saying dont do exagerated head to body proportions. Exagerate those digging claws like they did in Brood Wars.

Problem with your example is that there's more than just head:body ratio differences. Heck, the art style is completely different and it more than likely has a bigger influence on people's impressions.

The head of the Lurker is big so that you can see it while it's burrowed. It's also, presumably, where the spines come from.

Also, there's a reason I put that quote in my signature.

There are other things but the main point is to show how head size correlates with perceptions of youth.

Shouldnt the legs be big so it can dig a whole big enough for the head to fit in?

Wanting Starcraft 2 to look like Starcraft 1 does not equal fear of childishness. I liked this game when I was a child.
