Large queen

The Large Queen is a more advanced version of the Queen in StarCraft II.

The Large Queen is produced from a morph of the Queen. If the Large Queen dies, it can be produced again at the Hatchery/Lair/Hive as a Large Queen.

Game Unit
Queens move slowly except when on the Creep due to their Creep Move ability, making "Queen-rushing" difficult. Queens are much more powerful in overall combat ability on the Creep.

Abilities
The Large Queen bears the talents of the Queen, in addition to new abilities.


 * Deep Tunnel
 * Ability Cost: Cooldown (15 seconds)
 * "Queen tunnels deep underground and surfaces at target Zerg building."
 * This ability enables the Queen to "teleport" underground from one friendly structure to the next, even to another base.

Development
The Queen used to spawn numerous types of structures upon the Creep. Creep does not belong to any one player, which gave the Queen the ability to spawn structures upon "enemy" Creep in enemy bases. This ability has since been lost.

When the Queen created a structure, she was not required on-site like an SCV; rather, she builds in much the same way that a Probe creates Protoss structures.

The Queen had base defense duties, including laying eggs that hatch into suicide attackers.
