"Aggressive plant species."

- Zerusian Needle description(src)

The Zerusian needle is an organism found on Zerus.[1]

It is similar in function to a Spine crawler, though it cannot uproot itself, has considerably less health and lower range, and deals much less damage.

Zerusian needles appear as enemies in the Heart of the Swarm mission "Supreme". [2]

Development[]

The following section contains information from a previous version of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm which is no longer valid.

During development it was called the "tree viper".[3]

Trivia[]

This is actually a "critter" (mobile unit) rather than a "structure", but the movement is suppressed by a specific behavior.[4]
