Primal igniters are a primal zerg strain evolved from primal roaches. After the roach was assimilated by the primal zerg of Zerus, they evolved the ability to become igniters.

Game Unit

Primal igniters evolve from primal roaches in Co-op Missions, and are exclusive to Dehaka.

Compared to primal roaches, igniters have more HP, armor, damage, and have a splash attack, but have less range. Their splash attack also isn't particularly effective against ranged units, and is better suited to hitting melee units that attack the igniters.
