Overview
Mutalisk model
The Mutalisk is an evolved form of the mantis screamer species, but after the Overmind controled them and forced them to evolve with the Zerg (Concept) strain they became a much more dangerous creature. The Mutalisk is an armor-cladded bat-like creature, which flies with its body in a C-shaped position. Its spine is developed such to allow it to fire tiny creatures (glaive wurms) in front of itself while attacking out of its half-tail-half-mouth other extremity. The wurms hit up to 3 targets exploding on each one as they consecutively get smaller with each self-detonation. They have the ability to morph into two entirely different creatures, the Guardian and the Devourer.
