Primal guardians are primal zerg creatures similar to guardians. After the introduction of the primal roach into the primal zerg genome, many primal guardians evolved from primal roaches.[1]

Game Unit

Heart of the Swarm

Primal guardians appear as enemies on Zerus. [2] They also appear as part of Dehaka's pack during the attack on Korhal.[3] Unlike their Swarm counterparts, primal guardians can attack air units.[2] [4]
