The raptor is a variant strain of the zergling that appears in StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. It becomes available with the swarmling after completing either Shoot the Messenger or Fire in the Sky.[1]
Overview
During Kerrigan's resurgence, Abathur discovered the raptor strain in feral karak native to the planet Calus. The karak essence were assimilated to produce the raptor. This enhanced the quadriceps of the zergling and mutated its wing function, allowing the raptor to traverse cliffs and leap at targets from a distance. However, as a side effect the raptors were also affected with a minor increase in aggression.
Game Unit
The raptor gains the ability to jump up and down cliffs, leap over obstacles and onto targets from range, and gains +2 damage (40% increase).
Development
The raptor used the model of the swarmling in development.[2]
