Last week, Blizzard stirred up a little excitement for StarCraft II’s Heart of the Swarm expansion by revealing the vague outline of a new unit for Terran players. Since Heart of the Swarm adds a new unit to each faction, it’s only fitting that we’d see more of the same from big blue.

Here is the newest revelation, an outline of a new unit for the Zerg:

Whatever it is, it’s definitely Zerg-like. I count at least four legs, a massive (probably ugly) head, and lots of spiky bits, so it should fit right in with existing Zerg units. As with the Terran reveal, we don’t have any details on what exactly the unit does or how it will be used in battle. Blizzard will likely release this info once all three silhouettes are available, and even then you should expect a wait.

If there’s one thing Blizzard loves, it’s drawing out announcements. Heart of the Swarm is headed your way in 2012, but there’s no official release date and Blizzard hasn’t shied away from game delays in the past. HoTS revolves around Kerrigan and the Zerg, and features an all-new single player campaign in addition to additional multiplayer features.

Is this marketing campaign working? Are you getting excited for a little SCII?
