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.
Overview
Ultralisks are fast and deal high damage to armored units (Wings of Liberty only). 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. They are immune to stun and mind control effects.
Abilities
Researched Abilities
Many zerg ground units may burrow, becoming invisible and revealed primarily by detectors, and may not move or attack while burrowed.
Exceptions include:
- Roach, which may move while burrowed
- Lurker, which may attack while burrowed
- Infestor, which may move while burrowed
- 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.

Unit profile
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". Though it maintains its frenzied attribute it can still be captured using the hive mind emulator.
Heart of the Swarm
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.
It is also significantly less powerful offensively compared to the multiplayer version, doing only 25 damage per attack against its main target and 5 damage to secondary targets.
