Which Hybrid mixture would be the coolest?

[ApostleOfGod]

In SC1, Duran tells Zeratul of his grand project, creating a hybrid race mixture of Protoss and something else. Imo, I think Ran & Toss hybrid combo would be the best thing to see in SC2, but it probably differs for everyone.. So feel free to vote and write why you think which is best?

[Light]

i think we allready saw the terran/zerg hybrid in the infested terran...i think terran/prottoss would be incerdibly strong but ugly-looking...so i think P/Z ...

[Zerat]

the zerg terran we have seen in Karighan and kamikadze infested terrans
the T+P would be very strong so I take it
as for Z + P we know that this is the most propable hybrid, if there will be one someday

[CallDownTheThunder]

i want to see them combine a observer with a scourge :)

[Frost]

That would be pretty cool, but i want to see a Reaver+Lurker combo :o

[generalrievous]

I would had said Xel'naga and zerg but seeing how its not an option.......... Z + P

DUDE! Not Protoss and something else but Protoss and Zerg! How could you have missed that?

Protoss = Purity of form, Zerg = Purity of essence.... That's bassically what whole starcraft is about...

[Lord David]

i want to see them combine a observer with a scourge :)


and what have a "swarm" of invisible detecting exploding scourge-observers? Well... it was a good armada once... then we got beaten by a bunch of flying hybrids... :P

[mc2]

How about a Zerg-Terran-Protoss hybrid ;)

The protoss and zerg mix would be the best because that means that the purity of form and purity of essence will be combined to form a perfect race.

[Exterranminator]

i think terran/prottoss would be incerdibly strong


I dont think so...the Terran are not so strong. Theres bodies are weak and theres PSI abilities are not fully complete. The streanth of the terrans is there own creativity and dishonour. They are the clevest specie from SC ("If we cannot kill the Overmind, than give him some drugs and enslave him", "If we cannot defeat the Zerg by our own weapon, that we must break there unity (PSIdis)"...
...but also they are very naive and selfish :(

[PowerkickasS]

hey he's mocking everybody!
cant you just take it out on george bush!?

terran + protoss = wth would that achieve!? protoss drunkies? artanis + mouth + cigar =O

[CallDownTheThunder]

i wanna see a cross between a carrier and a deflier :)

[Nikzad]

archon and ultralisk
a big glowing light of power with two razor sharp 12 foot blades on the end of lightning shooting hands

[Light]

zergling with phase blades strapped at its front legs.

[Nikzad]

GM_k is a Protoss cuz he read my mind

[PowerkickasS]

how would it walk!? every step it takes digs itself deeper into the ground....

[Majorlagger]

how bout reaver zergling combo? imagine tiny reaver you mass ;D lol

[Exterranminator]

He was talking 'bout himself.

[paragon]

protoss zerg cause they are opposite ends of the spectrum with terran in the middle.

[zeratul11]

i don't like hybrids as a 4th race ( i hate the idea of a hybrid in the first place). is there any other powerful unique race out there that could be a potential 4th race? im not even talking about the xelnaga (they are better if combined with the protoss (maybe in starcraft 2 expansion).

[paragon]

This isn't talking about hybrids as a 4th race. There wont even be a forth race. And Duran talked about the Hybrids in brood wars so they do/will exist.
And I doubt the Xel'Naga would ever be grouped with the Protoss because the Protoss treated them like gods till they left.

They left because they deemed the Protoss a failure because of their inability to function in unity. Also, the Xel'Naga blamed their own presence on Aiur as result of this, and harbored no hard feelings on the Protoss for attacking them since they more or less drew it upon themselves.

Exactly. So the two would not join together.
The Protoss wouldn't join cause the Xel'Naga left
The Xel'Naga wouldn't join cause they feel they caused the problem with the protoss and wouldnt want to do that again.

Yeah, and while the Xel'Naga does not harbor any hard feelings, the Protoss do, since they felt like their "gods" abandoned them. So that's an additional reason why they wouldn't join.

[zeratul11]

but they did used the xelnaga temple in broodwar to save shakuras. so maybe they can reunite again, you know if the terrans and zerg will become powerful at the end of starcraft 2. then xelnaga will try to pursue the protoss to join them or vice versa. anyway i think protoss plus the power of the xelnaga will own all.
so the zerg needs 3 overminds now, and the terran domminion must combined force with the UED to counter the proxeltossnaga. heheh. and thus new uber fast strong units will be born, created, and made for the 3 races in starcraft 2 expansion. 8)

the zerg needs the 3 overminds now, and the terran domminion must combined force with the UED to counter the proxeltossnaga. heheh.

Well personally i don't think the Xel'Naga will make an appearance in SC2 since the Protoss first attacked and killed some of them, and then the Zerg did the same and nearly annihilated their entire race. It's even possible that they did wipe them out completely, some sources point in this direction. (will look them up and link tomorrow)

EDIT: What i was trying to say but forgot (since i am tired and probably should go sleep) is that if they are still alive, they wouldn't be making any contact with lesser races as history has clearly told them that contact f*cks everything up.

[paragon]

If the Xel'Naga all died in the Zerg attack (which they didn't) then how/why did they make a Zerg Killing temple on Shakuras. They would have had to have made it before even coming in contact with the Zerg if the Zerg had killed them all.

I think it stood in the SC1 manual about Zerus (zerg homeworld - yes, Zerus and not Char), and it said something in line with the Overmind betraying them and sending some flying crap against them, destroying all of their ships in the process. I think BW just retconned the plot and allowed a minor part of the Xel'Naga fleet to surive so that they could go around in the world and construct anti-Zerg temples here and where since they first-hand witnessed what consuming power they had created.

Something like that.

[paragon]

I don't think it ever said all of their ships were destroyed.

[SirBaron]

I don't think it ever said all of their ships were destroyed.

It wasn't until the Zerg broke away from the control of the Xel'Naga and formed a hive mind that the Xel'Naga realized their mistake. Once the Zerg Overmind noticed that the Xel'Naga were always watching the Zerg, the Overmind hid deep within the planet in order to be undetected by these. It then launched an attack against them and Zerus became the site of the ultimate defeat of the Xel'Naga race.
It's open to speculation whether what they really meant by that, but considering the construction of the Shakuras temple they are probably still alive and kicking somewhere away from prying eyes.

[paragon]

As the greater whole of the Xel'Naga race was consumed by the raging, genetic whirlwind of the Zerg, the Overmind gained the knowledge and insights of its masters.

Greater whole means most.

[PowerkickasS]

who said xel naga temples were for wiping out the zergs?
who said they were made after their destruction?
protoss + xel naga = lolbbq?

[coalescence]

I think the temple was for wiping out everything that needed to be wiped out, but a weird coinscedence that it used 2 crystals that matched templar and dark templar energies don't you think...

[paragon]

but it only killed the zerg. not the plants and critters.

[ImaGiNe.]

I remember reading that the Protoss harnessed the powers of the crystals left behind by the Xel'Naga. So I do not think it's a coincidence or an inconsistency.

EDIT - Oh yeah, I voted Protoss and Zerg because I am following Mr. Duran and taking his **** seriously.

[coalescence]

Now figure out why that temple was there, I honestly don't have a clue.
I think its still a inconsistency, weren't all the xel wiped out? I hate it when they alter stories, just like the dranei in WC3

Alterations SUCKS.

And yes, i think the Xel were meant to have died somewhere near Zerus but since they needed that "WarpgateXeltempleurajandkhalisplantedonplanets" crap...

[paragon]

Haha Dranei... "oh hey by the way there was another race on Draenor oddly enough called the Dranei even though the Orcs have control of the world."

I think they left it ambiguous whether or not the Xel'Naga were all killed on purpose.

[coalescence]

Haha Dranei... "oh hey by the way there was another race on Draenor oddly enough called the Dranei even though the Orcs have control of the world."


Nah, I'm talking about the fact that the Dranei were once Eredar and some Eredar were going evil and some becoming neanderthal (dranei)

[paragon]

Oh was that in WoW? That's dumb. Thats like a new level of dumb.

[coalescence]

One of the reasons why I hate WoW, completely ****ing up the story to have 2 sides fighting each other... Forsaken and orcs on the same side? Dranei and Blood Elves on opposite sides? Come on!

[Nikzad]

yeah when i heard the horde was orcs and tauren, i was like oh makes sense

then i continued listening to/reading the sentence, and found out the undead were in the horde too, and I thought

wtf??

[paragon]

They should have had Night Elf, Human, Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Orc, Tauren vs. Undead, Forsaken, Blood Elves, Dranei, Forest Trolls, Satyrs

[shirija]

Zerg and Protoss of course, one the essence of form, the other the essence of mind. What do you do when you cross them two? IMBA!

Terrans are just little mutants that got lucky somewhere in the food chain :P

[zeratul11]

dont underestimate the terrans, and kerrigan was a terran before. and she's the queen b**** of the universe right now.

check out my artwork contest

nobody wants to join? its for real and i got 3k to be given away.

[shirija]

Yes, kerrigan is formidable, but that's AFTER overmind completely upgraded her to unlock her psionic potential to the degree that she can actually replace the overmind. If someone with dormant psionic potential can become like kerrigan, just imagine someone like Tassadar... Galactic size psi storm anyone?

[zeratul11]

Galactic size psi storm anyone?


omg. i dont want that. protoss-zerg hybrids owns but terran-zerg hybrid is still stronger than any 3 of the races. but you are right.

[coalescence]

Actually there is no terran-zerg hybrid, because a hybrid is a cross breed. Theres only infested Terrans, and the only one really powerfull is Kerrigan, and she was already the most powerfull terran alive.

[Exterranminator]

Yeah, if the meaning of "terran" can be considered to her

[zeratul11]

so kerrigan is not a hybrid? ow yeah i forgot shes infested. and you call them infested terran and not terran zerg hybrid. so terran zerg hybrid may look different from that of the infested terran.

by the way how do protoss and zerg cross breed? or how do they become hybrid? or is it also an infestation process. then maybe they will also be called infested protoss? sorry guys i don't know about the details of it, the campaign mission in starcraft did not say much or anything at all about this. am i right?

[Lemonparty]

In Shadow of the Xel'Naga (or something like that, it's a book), some zergs attack a farmer and kill him, and he has a dog too, well a few pages after that you learn that the farmer is now a mutant hybrid and the dog too, and the dog combined with the zerg form a new species that they clone. Creating a new monster (forgot the name), so yeah, I expect that they're going to mutate into a bunch of new hybrid monsters in the campaign.
