The guardian
The guardian is a zerg long-range bomber.
Overview
A guardian during the Great War
The guardian is evolved from the mutalisk and thought to be based on the nesting form of the mantis screamer. It possesses a thicker carapace than its counterpart and attacks by lobbing explosive globs of acid with extreme accuracy.[1] The guardian is much slower than the mutalisk however, and was often designated to guard larvae.[2]
Despite being devastating in terrestrial combat, guardians are next to useless in space combat.[3]
A guardian close up
Guardians were replaced by brood lords following the Brood War.[4] A number of them were utilized by Amon in the End War, as they were taken under his control along with the feral zerg of Aiur.[5][6] Feral guardians remained on Tarsonis years after the conflict,[7] while additional guardians were among the zerg that attacked the Umojan research team on Jarban Minor.[8]
