Roverlisk
From StarCraft Wiki
- "The Zerg are causing more damage, men. Concentrate your fire and take out those...those roverlisks."
- ―General Edmund Duke[src]
Roverlisks were a zerg strain, based on the domestic dog, used by the Kukulkan Brood in the battle at Bhekar Ro. It was created by a queen as an "experiment" when it absorbed the genetic pattern of Old Blue, a large dog. The roverlisks were so named by Terran Dominion General Edmund Duke.
Roverlisks had spines sticking out of the back, armored claws sprouting from the shoulders, four eyes on waving stalks, tusk-like fangs and claws as large as scimitars. They could explode much like an infested terran.
When the energy creature emerged from its chrysalis, it absorbed all zerg present there (along with many others such as the protoss army), including all roverlisks. Thus, the roverlisks were eliminated, and it is unknown whether they will make another appearance in the future.
