We have never seen any Xel'Naga because they have no body.
They Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence. The hybrids will become their body in the physical world.- I always thought the Energy Beings from the books were the Xel'naga...
- Definitely not!
- Zeratul thinks they are, but it doesn't track with anything in the games like the Xel'Naga ship that was clearly designed for things with a physical body.
- Jossed by Starcraft 2. Xel'Naga Destroyers have a body.
- Those are actually called Hybrid destroyers, at least according to the portrait information.
- They are the same ones Duran made in Brood War.
- Hybrids are not Xel-Naga. They are created by Duran (and others) on behalf of a single Xel-Naga, referred to as the Fallen One (Amon), who perverted the original plan for the merging of the "purity of form/purity of essence" lifeforms.
- Assuming, of course, that Duran is working for the Fallen One. he actually is, and he himself is a Xel'naga.
- Definitely not!
- Somewhat jossed. Xel'naga is a race of inter-dimensional beings, and has a hand in the creation of all life in all universes, and they reside in the Void which serves the nexus point of all universes. Eache time they enter a new universe, they will take on a new form. As observed with Duran/Nurad,Amon and Ouros, Xel'Naga indeep posses form inside the void, but in case of Amon it seems that they can appear as pure conciousness/energy being as well.
Elements of Starcraft 2 plot
- Based off the Ghosts of the Past trailer, I have come up with some speculation. That part where all those Dominion warships are warping in? That's Prince Valerian's battlegroup. All seems lost, but then the Zerg attack the Dominion battlegroup and Raynor uses that opportunity when they're distracted by the Zerg to board the flagship, allowing him to do the scene where he asks "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now." Valerian then offers to help Raynor get to Char and lend him troops to help him kill Kerrigan (which undoubtedly fails since the next Zerg expansion deals with Kerrigan and the swarm. Does that mean Raynor dies...?). He'll also reveal that he's the mysterious employer that Raynor has been working for, the one obsessed with acquiring all those mysterious artifacts. Expect a scene along these lines: "I'll never work for you!" "Ah, but you already are/have." Also, Tychus might have been released from New Folsom prison by agreeing to spy on Raynor on Mengsk's behalf. Not sure how that fits into the plot though.
- Close. Very close. (Note that the Spoiler Tags were once there for a reason. A BIG reason. Read at your own risk.) Jim does forcibly board the ship, but only succeeds because Valerian never had hostile intentions towards him; rather, he wanted to enlist Jim's help with the final artifact (which he does, to the crew of the Hyperion's chagrin). After all the artifacts are obtained, Valerian snatches half the Dominion fleet and teams up with Raynor to assault Char. And their assault is successful - the Zerg on Char are destroyed, and Kerrigan is cured and rescued in one giant Heartwarming Moment. Jim even takes a bullet for her, and kills Tychus.
Humans are a creation of the Xel'Naga and they combine purity of form and essence.
The two major races Protoss and Zergs, are creations of the Xel'Naga. Other alien species have existed in the Starcraft-verse, such as the Tagal, but they mostly exist as obscure things in the fluff. I think it make sense that the three major (and playable) races share a common origin. All three are psionics. Two of them, Terran and Protoss, share a similar body shape. Two of the them, Terran and Zerg, are strong in numbers. Terrans, as Jack of All Stats combine purity of form and purity of essence. Like the Zergs, they are constantly evolving. However its not their bodies but their tactics and technology that is always evolving, while the Protoss are rather stagnant.- Then they should be stronger than the hybrids, and zergs shouldn't be able to infest them.
- Jossed. The literature directly states (I think somewhere in the Dark Templar Trilogy) that the Xel'Naga didn't have a thing to do with humanity.
- Partially, if one consider that the Xel'Naga seeded all sentient species-bearing planets in the universe. They indirectly had a hand (read:tentacle) in humanity's creation.
The Overmind is an Unreliable Narrator
Think about it, the Overmind wanted to ensure Kerrigan's survival (having forsaw her death and the Dark Voice's victory) and forsaw Zeratul coming to Aiur so spun a story of a 'vision' of the future should Kerrigan die (which might have elements of truth) which the Protoss would want to prevent coming to pass and used Tassadar's image as someone Zeratul and Raynor would trust. This would also explain the hammy dialogue in the mission 'In Utter Darkness'. After all, the Overmind's word is hardly reliable and is most likely to do whatever it takes to ensure its plans come to fruition.- Not too far off from what Legacy of the Void revealed. Ouros was behind the Overmind/Tassadar visions to warn Zeratul about Amon's treachery and what he planned to do with the universe. This culminated with a Terran/Zerg/Protoss entering into the void to rescue Ouros so that he could fuse his power with Kerrigan and the three armies could lauch an indirect assault on Amon to allow Kerrigan to finish Amon off.
The Dark Voice is Satan
The Xel'Naga are constantly stated to be divine. However, they built temples. If they were gods themselves, what were their temples for?My answer: The Xel'Naga were angels, and the temples they built were dedicated to God. So what does that make the one bad Xel'Naga—the one who refers to himself as "Fallen One?"
- He's not exactly called Satan, but he fits the archetype strongly so he could be an Expy of him. Amon even want's to inhabit a host body and use it to start his own end of days like a bona-fide Anti-Christ.
[[WMG :There will be a Zerg/Protoss/Terran war against the Xel'Naga in the future.]]Something will happen that the three sides will have to work back-to-back in order to defeat "their creators". That, of course, in case Blizzard decides to do a campaign after Legacy Of The Void.
- I think it will be called "StarCraft III".
- That's too awesome to pass up. There will also be a metric fuckton of hero units involved - Horner in the Hyperion, Valerian in the Bucephalus, Raynor, Tosh, Nova, Kerrigan (as a heavily souped-up Ghost with Psionic Storm)]], Stettman, Rory, the Odin, Zeratul, Artanis, Selendis, the other heroes from the Bad Future]], a bunch of hero zerg, and all of the mercenaries even if you didn't buy them. The ending will change based on which heroes are alive; only Raynor, Kerrigan]] and Zeratul will need to survive for victory.
- Given that half the Warcraft III final missions and the Wings of Liberty finale are survive for a time limit missions, I think we can guarantee it. I suspect you'll only get the three big heroes, though; otherwise the number of possible ending cutscenes would get a little ridiculous.
- Something like this does happen in Legacy of the Void, but it so happens that most of the Xel'Naga were killed by Amon, and Ouros is the only survivor and is imprisoned by the former. Amon arrives on the scene in full force for the Void campaign and corrupts the Khala to use much of the Golden Armada as his proxy army.
