In the mission Waking the Ancient, around the middle north of the map, there's a neutral critter that burrows as soon as you get anywhere near it. It's definitely selectable; the cursor changed when I moused over it, and I think its name was "Strange Organism" or something like that.

What is it for? Is there a related achievement? Is it maybe part of an Easter egg? Or is it just a red herring?

Please spoiler your answers as appropriate.

  • Oooh... selectable? If I remember right, you can nuke selectable neutral critters through mass clicking.

  • @Sconibulus: Like I said, it burrows in a hurry once you can see it, so I doubt you click on it enough to nuke it before it gets away. Commented Mar 14, 2013 at 20:39

    I don't believe it's selectable, it just has a tooltip appear when you move the cursor over it. Commented Mar 14, 2013 at 21:06

That is

Dehaka

skulking around the edges, checking you out for future activities.


You can also see him on a ledge above your base in the next mission, The Crucible. Notice the missing right arm.
