Immortal

The immortal is a protoss cybernetic trooper.

Overview
Historically, crippled veteran templar could volunteer to continue serving by being transplanted into dragoon exoskeletons. This honored tradition was broken when the zerg infested the sacred shrine dedicated to the creation of dragoons during the fall of Aiur. After the Brood War, crippled protoss soldiers were transplanted into the new immortal shells. The remaining dragoons were transformed into immortals as well.

Immortals are outfitted with twin phase disruptors as their primary attack form; they give critical fire support to legions of zealots against ground targets. Their specially hardened energy shields only activate when struck by powerful attacks, which leaves them more vulnerable to the pinprick attacks of lesser foes.

Game Unit
Immortals can only attack ground units, but do additional bonus damage to armored units. Their powerful shields protect them against enemy units with heavy attacks but they are easily countered by rapid attacking units such as reapers, s or zerglings.
