I've been looking at some forum discussions on other sites about the Sithlids of Ahn'Quiraj and their similarities to the Zerg of Starcraft, and I've been thinking... Maybe they ARE Zerg? Blizzard may be trying to make a crossover of Starcraft and Warcraft...

Nope

For one thing, the Zerg are far more powerful

And they aren't really "zomg insects". They're more "zomg mutants kekeke"

But they refrence Starcraft with the purple and stuff. But they're two different species, just simular. Like thylacines and wolves

C'Thun himself is more of a Lovecraftian refrence

Sub-Species Theory

The Sithlids may be a sub-species of the Zerg species. An example is Humans and Chimpanzees; although they are both apes, Humans are more advanced than the Chimpanzees. Sithlids may be a more archaic/primitive sub-species of the Zerg.
