Game Unit
Lurkers serve as siege and harassment units, capable of defending key locations and control points. They deal splash damage to large numbers of units.

Lurkers were re-introduced in Legacy of the Void as a standard zerg unit in multiplayer. They are siege units that can attack in a line, and can defend critical points. Their Adaptive Talon upgrade allows them to burrow quicker, allowing them to be more mobile.

Heart of the Swarm
