The Hydralisk is an elementary warrior strain of the Zerg swarm and one of the most iconic figures from the StarCraft series.

Bio[edit | edit source]

Biologically engineered from the herbivorous, caterpillar-like Slothien, the Hydralisks bear little resemblance to their ancestors, and instead serve as fierce shock troops for the swarm. Although the scythe-like claws mounted on its arms were sharp enough to slice armored marines in half, the Hydralisk's primary weapon consisted of hundreds upon hundreds of poisonous spines stored in two folds alongside its head region. Powerful muscle contractions allowed the Hydralisk to launch these spines with enough force to penetrate through 5 inches (~2 cm) of solid neo-steel across an effective range of more than 300 yards.

While nowhere near as numerous as the lower Zergling, it still was the Hydralisk that would become a living icon of the nightmarish Zerg's ferocity as they swept over world after world, bringing death to untold numbers of Protoss and the potentially even worse fate of infestation to even greater number of Terrans. The highly accelerated process of evolution and adaption to the various weapons and tactics used by the swarm's foes simultaneously led to notable differences between the specimen encountered before and during the time of the Broodwar, and those that fought in its aftermath.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

So far, the Hydralisk has only fought in 8chanmania LXXXIV, where it was quickly dispatched by a Protoss Zealot.
