The ultralisk remains the heavy assault beast for zerg forces. The ultralisk may now burrow, although it takes longer to burrow than smaller zerg units.

OverviewEdit

Ultralisks are fast and deal high damage to armored units. They also deal splash damage which makes them effective against groups of low HP units, such as zerglings and zealots. They are vulnerable to immortals, siege tanks, and dark templar.

AbilitiesEdit

Notes
Many zerg ground units may burrow, become invisible and may be revealed primarily by detectors, and may not move or attack. Exceptions are the roach, who may move while burrowed, the infestor, who may move and cast Infested Terran,[2] and the baneling which can detonate while burrowed. Some units can unburrow via autocast, causing them to emerge and attack when an enemy moves into range. The ability is not smartcast.

Wings of LibertyEdit

Captive ultralisks are featured as a number of destructable doodads. "Piercing the Shroud" has a captive ultralisk; when destroyed it releases broodlings. A similar unselectable ultralisk is found in a hidden place in "Ghost of a Chance".

Heart of the SwarmEdit

In the Heart of the Swarm campaign, the Ultralisk can be evolved into either the Noxious or Torrasque strain after the necessary evolution mission is completed.

UpgradesEdit

Players can choose one of the following upgrades in the evolution pit. Upgrades can be switched between missions.

• Burrow Charge: Ultralisk burrows and charges toward a unit; when it erupts from the ground, all nearby enemy units are knocked back and stunned for 2 seconds.
• Tissue Assimilation: Gain life equal to 40% of all damage dealt from normal attacks.
• Monarch Blades: Gains +20 splash damage (an increase of 400%), dealing equal damage to both primary and secondary targets now.
