StarCraft: Ghost

Floor turret wireframe in StarCraft: Ghost

Traps were set to appear in StarCraft: Ghost, with "floor turrets" and "wall turrets" appearing to impede Nova's progress.

Within zerg structures, exploding pustules and spine traps would serve as traps Nova would have to avoid.

StarCraft II

Weapon traps can burrow in StarCraft II. This does not render them invisible.

Perdition Turret

Raynor's Raiders can build Perdition turrets. The Terran Dominion used them to defend the Valhalla facility. They are also present on Skygeirr Platform, and the Moros.

Gun Trap

The Dominion used sentry guns to defend the Castanar facility.
