Well this is my first upload and i suppose it needs to be explained:

This is one of my new unit ideas for Starcraft 2 Heart of the swarm. Yes the drawing isn't the best quality but I'm more interested in the concept behind it.

For too long the terrans and the protoss have been out stealthing the Zerg by using the Ghost and the Dark templar, the observer, and the banshee. Now the swarm has devised a completly new strain of Zerg, derived from the Hydralisk, that will act as a stealthy support unit that shall lead the swarm to victory!

The Aqualisk is capable of firing a specialy designed Razor spine that acts much like a harpoon; latching onto the prey item, then dragging it towards the Aqualisk, all the while being electricly shocked due to the Voltage glands located along the aqualisk's sides, much like a giant electric eel, with the hunting habits of a cone snail, and the speed of a cheetah.

It's skin is loaded with different pigments and special proteins that break up it's outline and make it very hard to see, thus it can get within half of an opposing units' sight range before it gets detected.

The Aqualisk's tertiary ability is to secrete creep behind it, much like a snail, only this ends up making not only the Aqualisk faster, but any zerg units drafting behind it go much faster, so what would normally take a slow and cumbersome Ultralisk unit 40 seconds to get to, now would take 30 seconds, even less if timed correctly. The only downside is that matter cannot be created or destroyed, so it takes a long time for the aqualisk to replenish it's supply of creep
