Template talk:Zerg Breeds

Can't really comment on the intentions of the template's original conception, but I am iffy about certain placings and entries on it. Obviously subjectivity plays a role, but a few pointers:

-Strains such as the behemoth and leviathan don't belong in "rare strains" or "specialized strains" as they don't strictly meet either criteria. They have never been explicitly stated to be rare and the specialized strain entry is, as I see it, for strains that are nothing more than souped up incarnations of core strains, such as the Hunter Killer. Arguably the likes of the guardian and lurker could go there, but they differ drastically in physical form. The behemoth and co. on the other hand, are not variants. If they are called specialized or rare for the sole distinction of never appearing in the games, then you could call every protoss and terran vehicle/starship that doesn't appear "rare" as well.

-Infested terran variants are, for the most part, game distinctions. As this is an in-universe template and not a game one, that should be reflected. While infested marines are perhaps smarter than their GW/BW predecessors, the difference is minor and there's no in-universe distinction. The only real in-universe IT variants, as far as I can see, are the centaur and mutate, due to drastic physical difference and actual sapience respectively. Arguably the likes of Kerrigan and Stewart could form a category of their own, but they more or less belong in the command strains section.--Hawki 06:52, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
