- Dorian's thoughts upon encountering a hybrid reaver(src)
The hybrid reaver is an extremely powerful zerg-based type of hybrid.[1] They are capable of basic speech, and can exert control over zerg[2] and terrans through mind control.[3]
History
A hybrid reaver was created in a secret Terran Dominion facility at Castanar.[4]
This article or section contains information from the optional Rebellion Missions in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.

Raynor's Raiders discovered the creature and destroyed its holding cell. When the cell was destroyed, the reaver then proceeded to destroy the facility. The Raiders barely escaped into a Hercules, after which the reaver "screamed" at them.[4]
Armageddon
In a dark apocalyptic future foreseen by the Overmind and others through it, many hybrid reavers were deployed to help destroy the protoss during their last stand.[5]
Skygeirr Station
Sarah Kerrigan and her zerg minions encountered many hybrid reavers on Skygeirr Station. These reavers, along with a band of Tal'darim protoss, were under the control of the shapeshifter Emil Narud.[6]
Legacy of the Void
- A hybrid reaver(src)
Hybrid reavers were encountered on Aiur during the Golden Armada's invasion of the planet. They directed zerg against the Daelaam invaders. However, they were slain.[2] Reavers were encountered on Korhal, Shakuras, Cybros, Ulnar, Slayn, and on Aiur when the Daelaam returned to the world.[7][8][9] [10] [11]
Game Unit
StarCraft II
Hybrid reavers are encountered as enemies throughout the campaigns of StarCraft II. Unlike the hybrid destroyer, reavers focus on physical attacks.
In the Heart of the Swarm campaign, enhanced hybrid reavers, simply called "Hybrid", appear as enemies in the level "Phantoms of the Void." These reavers have the same stats and abilities as Legacy of the Void's hybrid behemoths.[6]

Originally the protoss-based hybrid destroyer was the only type of hybrid unit in StarCraft II. The idea of a zerg-based hybrid had been pitched by Samwise Didier in concept art,[1] (labelled as a "high breed")[12] but was effectively abandoned for a year. Eventually the idea of a zerg-based hybrid was pitched within the design team and Didier's concept was resurrected as the hybrid viper. In the final game it was known as the hybrid reaver—mostly the same, but unlike the viper, it had tentacles coming off its back,[1] that aren't visible on lower graphic settings (the player must set "effects" to medium or above).

Notes
- The reaver's portrait is available in StarCraft II. It is a portrait reward available for the Team Random 1000 achievement.
- Its quotes are the same as those of the archon.
