You may be looking for: other things called Nydus
The following article contains information about a StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm unit or structure that was canceled.

The nydus destroyer is a zerg variant strain of the nydus worm that appears in Heart of the Swarm beta files. It could be summoned from a greater nydus network. It has an acid attack which it fires at structures only. It cannot load units.[1]

Despite not being used in Legacy of the Void, the attack data was changed to allow targeting of units. It is known there internally as "NydusCanalAttacker", can produce creep, and is invulnerable while spawning.[2]

The nydus destroyer's model bears a great similarity to the ash worm; it is possible one of the two models was adapted into the other.
