StarCraft II

The following section contains information from a previous version of StarCraft II which is no longer valid.

The lurker egg was removed by the beta as the lurker had been cancelled. The egg is larger than a normal egg but uses the normal egg portrait. It is still present in the StarCraft II map editor.

The lurker egg was replaced by the lurker cocoon when the lurker was reintroduced in the Heart of the Swarm campaign and Legacy of the Void multiplayer.
