Still a great unit, but its weakness is that it's a Vulture: it can't attack air units! Very good at hit-and-run missions and disrupting enemy resource gathering. He is playable in five Terran missions and one Protoss mission.

Special Abilities: Cloak, Lockdown

She is one of the main characters of the game, and her playable Terran version is a Ghost. While she does not have one of the abilities of normal Ghosts (Nuclear Strike), she is still a great unit with the abilities to Cloak and Lockdown enemy units, and enough energy to do them many times over.

Hyperion (Battlecruiser)
Probably one of the best hero units in the game. This thing possesses superior firepower compared with normal Battlecruisers, has high health points and is armed with the Yamato Gun special ability.

Hunter Killer (Hydralisk)
Basically a super powered version of the Hydralisk. These units have an attack of 20, a health of 160 and they move pretty fast. Large numbers of these units will defeat an entire army of Protoss and Terrans, so focus on destroying the Hunter Killers if the enemy has one.

Kerrigan (Infested Terran)
Unlike normal Infested Terrans, this unit is a powerful melee attacker instead of a suicide one. This unit has the ensnare special ability, the consume special ability, the Ghosts Personal Cloaking ability and the High Templars Psionic Storm ability, making this unit very versatile and powerful against certain enemies.

Torrasque
This hero is basically a super version of the Ultralisk. Its attack does 50 points of damage to any ground unit, can survive a Yamato Cannon, has a health of 800 and it has tough armor to shrug off most attacks. This Ultralisk should be the first target on your list, because it will wreck havoc on your forces if left alone.

Dark Templar (Hero)
This is a unique unit in the original StarCraft game, but in Brood War they can be deployed from the Gateway.
