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.
Edmund Duke (Siege Tank)
Alan Schezar (Goliath)
Tom Kazansky (Wraith)
Magellan (Science Vessel)
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.
Norad II (Battlecruiser)
Zerg
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.
Devouring One
A super powered up version of the Zergling. This attacker does 10 points of damage, can survive more hits than a regular Zergling and is already upgraded with all upgrades available.
Unclean One
Matriarch
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.
Protoss
Tassadar (High Templar)
Unlike regular High Templars this hero unit has an attack of its own in addition to its special abilities. This unit cannot merge into an Archon but it retains its Psionic Storm and Hallucination abilities.
Zeratul (Dark Templar)
Tassadar (Carrier)
Fenix (Zealot)
Fenix (Dragoon)
In missions where this hero unit is usable, it is a super version of the normal Dragoon, and in True Colors of the Zerg Campaign, this unit has an attack of 60 for all targets, is armed with 800 shields and health points, and has heavy armor.
Mojo (Scout)
Warbringer
Danimoth
Dark Templar (Hero)
This is a unique unit in the original StarCraft game, but in Brood War they can be deployed from the Gateway.
