Zeratul (StarCraft)

Zeratul is a hero unit. He appears in the missions "Homeland," "Shadow Hunters," "Eye of the Storm," "Escape from Aiur," and "Countdown." He also appears in the missions "Into the Darkness," "The Trial of Tassadar," "Legacy of the Xel'Naga," "The Insurgent," "To Slay the Beast," and "The Reckoning" as an NPC hero.

Zeratul has a large number of shields with comparatively low HP, allowing shield batteries to rapidly heal him. Zeratul deals 100 damage a strike, one of the most powerful attacks in the game. In tandem with his permanent cloaking, this makes him a very effective assassin, able to scout ahead and weaken enemy positions in preparation for a larger assault. However, his slow attack speed makes him easily overwhelmed by large numbers of enemies.
