From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the computer game StarCraft, a Hunter Killer is a a non-unique hero-level unit like the Torrasque or the Devouring One. It is stronger than normal units of the same type, but there are more than one of these types of units.
[edit] Overview
The Hunter Killers are a type of Hydralisk. They are twice as strong as normal Hydralisks. They are used as elite soldiers within the Zerg swarm. They were bred from Hydralisks to become larger, attack harder, and become more difficult to kill.
[edit] History
The hunter killers were forces of the Cerebrate Daggoth, who were given to Araq (the cerebrate the player assumes the role of) in both Zerg campaigns Episode II Mission II to assist in protecting the Crysalis as it was taken to the Beacon that brought the Zerg to the planet Char. Daggoth also lent two Hunter Killers to Infested Kerrigan during her infiltration of the Science Vessel, Amerigo in Zerg Episode II Mission V. From there, the Hunter Killers make no new appearances until Zerg Episode VI Mission II when the SCV carrying a psi emitter rescues various groups of three Hunter Killers and assists the Cerebrate in destroying the Psi Disruptor.
