New Brood War Zerg Units

The Devourer
The Devourer is a Zerg Heavy Strike Flyer. An extremly venomous monster, it was designed to cripple large enemies with a dose of corrosive poison. The Devourer will be a very, very powerful new air unit for the Zerg. It will take 1/3 of a targets hit points with one shot! It is an air attack only unit, showering the target unit with Acid Spores. These Spores will not affect the targets overall speed, but will reduce their firing speed.
The Lurker
The Lurker is a Zerg Heavy Support unit. It is a mobile siege weapon, it can burrow and attack from it's underground lair. The Lurker is mutated from a Hydralisk, much the same as Guardians are currently mutated from Mutalisks. It is defenseless in it's mobile state, but when burrowed, attacks much as a Creep Colony. It is not able to attack air units and does inflict damage on allied units during an close range attack. (much like seige tanks/spider mines/reavers) The Lurker is hidden while burrowed like all burrowed units, and is detectable only by detector units. Hydralisks can only morph to Lurkers when not burrowed. If a Hydralisk is told to morph while burrowed, it will unburrow and then morph into an egg.

The only other change brought on by Brood Wars is an upgrade to the Ultralisk. Now you can research 2 upgrades:
CHITINOUS PLATING- which gives the Ultralisk +3 to their armor
ANABOLIC SYNTHESIS- which greatly increases the speed of all Ultralisks.
