==Hydralisk | ==Hydralisk Den== | ||
The | The Hydralisk Den, as its name suggests, allows the production and support of Hydralisks. Dedicated (like most Zerg buildings) to a unit, it allows two Hydralisk-specific upgrades in StarCraft and a third one in the Brood War expansion. Both basic upgrades (speed and range) are quite useful, as the Hydralisk is considered by most to be the backbone unit of the Zerg forces. The Brood War-only upgrade is the Lurker aspect evolution, which allows the Hydralisk to go back into its egg form and re-emerge as a Lurker. | ||
