Interesting Unit Names

[Hawkwing]

If you ever are bored enough to do this, take a look through the different icon selections in the data editor. There's tons of names and images I personally have never seen or heard of (and yes I've played the original Starcraft).

A lot of them are scrapped units and units from the original game, however several aren't.

Protoss
Dragoon
Escort
Nullifier
Purifier
Scarab
Reaver
Soul Hunter
Tempest
Star Relic
Twilight Archon
Void Star (not Void Ray)

Terran
Cobra
Diamondback
Firebat
Firebat-Classic
Hurcules Dropship
Nomad (the image is simply the Raven, however there is an icon titled Raven with the same image)
Incinerator (looks very similar to Marauder)
Jackal
Predator
Predator-Intercept
Spider Mine
Valkyrie
Viking (much difference from the Viking-Assault and Viking-Fighter icons which are currently in use in-game)
Vulture

Zerg
Bonewasp
Corrupted Mass
Dracolisk
Infested Queen
Lurker
Mantaling
Mantalisk
Mutant Larva
Omegalisk
Overlord Detector (not Overseer or Overlord)
Swarm Guardian
Swarm Host

Void Star looks like a giant flying mass relay from ME. Has a Dark Templar style to it. Go look at the concept art on starcraft2.com
Nomad was original name of the Raven
Mutant Larva was supposed to be like a queen ability, they were able to walk off creep and morph into any unit or some shit.
Nullifier was old name of Disruptor, aka Sentry.
Predator was an old planned terran air unit that coudl intercept incoming attacks at the cost of mobility and attack or something like that.
Soul hunter was a scrapped Protoss unit which got stronger each time it killed something, retarded concept imo.
Tempest was a Carrier replacement that got removed. It launched melee shurikens instead of interceptors. It had the same style as the other DT things.
Twilight Archon was the old name for the new Archons. Guess they never remoed the icon.

A bunch of the others are original SC1 units. Rest I dunno.

Still waiting for someone to explain the Happy Fun Ball model.

Also, Bonewasp ...

Most of those I know. I didn't know Predator and Void Star however. Thanks.

I'm really curious to find out what the Bonewasp, Dracolisk, and Omegalisk is though.

Omegalisk was a planned uber ultralisk.

Oh, yeah. I remember that.

Also, I've been looking for the Void Star concept art and can't find it. Does anybody have a link?
