See Infested Terran.
The Infestor spawns five at a time from eggs (the lore excuse is that the Infestor has some Terrans trapped inside him, then just kinda barfs em up when they're needed :p ).

the new looks is pretty sweet! it has a more... slimy, disguisting look with not quite as much random things sticking out of him as before. and the tentacles coming out of the facial helmet was a nice touch imo.

What bugs you? The barfing up part or the eating them alive and slowly and agonizingly turning them into monstrosities part? =P

I wonder if the swing around when he is trying to walk. That would be funny. x)

This used to bother me too, but now I'm cool with it... I mean, if it weren't a "grab a marine and forcefully turn them into an abomination" deal, then why the hell would they have armor and a gun? As for how useful it will ultimately be... well, only time (and the beta) will tell.

my problem is it never actually eats them alive (unless i misunderstood how the ability works)... it hatches from a larva with a limitless supply of infested terrans in its belly already. just a little summon shortcut that reeks of warcraft to me.

I'd totally tap that ^^

Anyways I never really saw much use of the infested Terran, however the spawning of five of them could prove very useful.

isn't it supposed to be kind of an emergency thing? just to tip a battle in your favor? three infestors spawning 5 infested terrans each could probably make a difference.

@Eskanasi
Lol I though of posing the exact same thing but concluded that it doesn't really matters which BR is particular that has been said. It is more important that it has been said. Where it has it been said is an afterthought. ^^

Looks like its based on Mr Jack's concept art:

@Booshack
Did you know that Mr Jack now works for Blizzard. He must have had his fingers in the designing of this unit. ^^

Although I would prefer Mr Jack's face version. It looks more scary. The two tentacles out of the eyes are too humorous imo. x)

yeah that's so badass. i'm convinced he's the one that got the infestor model changed. i can just see him at a team meeting going 'uh guys, isn't this fat sack thing kinda... dumb looking?'

#22 ProtossMothership United States(us)

 
Just Had a thought, since a Single infestor spawns 5 infested terrans.

Couldn't you just get 12 Infestors to spawn 60 infested terrans at once?

(Yes I'm aware you can have more than 12 units in one group)

Lol that's pretty badass.

And yes you could get it to spawn 60 infested Terrans.

Speaking of which, I wonder how control will work in SC2, and whether spawning infested Terrans will take up some of your control? Because if not then it will lead to them having a bigger army then anyone else.

yeah but theyre super weak aren't they? zerg don't have as many options as far as units goes so i kinda like the idea of having that supply cap advantage.

Nope it wasn´t Mr Jack that got it changed if you look at the signature at the linked Concept art, you can see that it was the allmighty Samwise himself =)
Also if i´m not mistaken the model changed before Mr Jack joined Blizzard.
