Starcraft wasn't very moddable and if I generally felt like I could do it right Xaax wouldn't be a Defiler (well, not after eating a Dark Templar artifact, at least). I chose the Defiler because lore-wise it's the only other Zerg unit (which means, not Overmind or Cerebrate) that contains the entire range of the Zerg genetic code (the other being the Larva). Lore-wise it's to metabolize the consumption of other Zerg into useable energy and to create potent toxins, but I decided it was plausible to use it as a means to create a Zerg that wildly deviated off the standard evolutionary path (in my idea Xaax has a lot of really huge claws, but hell, there's no way to pull that off in Starcraft without making it look weird).chris wrote: well then, explain to me how a puny defiler (Grakaa) is capable of destroying a cerebrate high on stim? or how about Xaax who outwitted his entire race? (you have played VotF and flame knives, haven't you?)

There can never be too many claws.

Defilers having the entire range of the Zerg gene pool was the lore reason why I picked a defiler to be one of my campaign's main heroes as well.RazorclawX wrote:Starcraft wasn't very moddable and if I generally felt like I could do it right Xaax wouldn't be a Defiler (well, not after eating a Dark Templar artifact, at least).

The fact that they look good, sound good and have incredibly powerful skills is the gameplay reason.

The command structure of the Zerg Swarm only can be this:
Overmind -> Cerebrates -> Agents (for example Kerrigan) -> Queens and Overlords -> the other units
This is the main reason because Kerrigan killed the second Overmind and the Cerebrates. Without them, Kerrigan would have no obstacles to control the Zerg Swarms.

I've always been a big fan of High Templar. Psi Storm and Hallucination can be so much fun.

The thing is, you wouldn't even kill a marine with that. In fact the defilers are so worthless that they can't even kill a terran civilian alone.Lavarinth wrote:Plague.Doctor Doack wrote: carriers
