The Mutalisk has been little changed from its original form, the roving Mantis Screamer of the desolate Dinares Sector. Capable of both atmospheric and deep space flight, Mutalisks are the primary flying force of the Zerg. They attack by expelling a voracious symbiote that rapidly slices its way through opposing forces.
Guardian Form
- Mutalisks can also metamorph into another form, which is believed to be based on the nesting form of the Mantis Screamer. The Zerg Guardian has a thicker armored carapace and attacks by lobbing explosive gobs of acid which have a much longer tange than the Mutalisk's spray. This acid can only be directed at targets on the ground below. Guardians have no natural defenses against aerial opponents.
EVula's Notes:
The Mutalisk is the Zerg's main air unit (well, other than the Overlord). It can attack both air and ground. Its attack also ricochets off its targets, doing less and less damage to each successive unit. However, used in groups of 3 or more, they can do lots of damage, so always have small fleets of these units ready to attack; a lone Mutalisk will get killed rather quickly. The Mutalisk is also the base unit for Guardians and Devourers.
