Primal igniters are primal zerg units used by Dehaka during the End War against Amon.

Game Unit

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

Compared to the primal roaches, igniters have more HP, armor, and damage, but less range.

Abilities

Burrow

Many zerg ground units may burrow, becoming invisible and revealed primarily by detectors, and may not move or attack while burrowed.

Exceptions include:

• Roach, which may move while burrowed
  
• Lurker, which may attack while burrowed
  
• Infestor, which may move while burrowed
  
• Baneling, which can detonate while burrowed.

Some units can unburrow via autocast, causing them to emerge and attack when an enemy moves into range.

The ability is not smartcast.
