Description[]
The Hydralisk is a medium ranged Zerg unit. Hydralisks deal Explosive Damage to ground and air, having no particular qualities except for being very efficient for their supply. Normally quite slow, they become quite speedy once Muscular Augments is researched. Can also be upgraded to increase their attack range with Grooved Spines. If Hydralisks are used it's critical to research both upgrades as soon as possible.
