Hydralisk - Cutter

Hydralisk - Cutter [Agility] {Melee to mid-range}

A veteran from the Invasion of Aiur, gained self-awareness when the Overmind was slain. During the maddened rage across the planet of Aiur by the unleashed Zerg, Cutter went into hiding to keep from being killed by the escaping Protoss. After the Zerg had all but died or were reunited, Cutter came out of hiding and swore allegience to Kerrigan to be spared.

Even when Cutter was first reabsorbed into the Swarm, he retained his individual thoughts. During a battle, Cutter became enraged by the conflicting orders given by the Overlords that he killed two of them. Cutter then was banished by Kerrigan, because she couldn't get her minions to kill him and she was unable to kill him herself.

Now Cutter is back and angry. Planning to use the artifacts to his own ends, to improve himself and kill Kerrigan, Cutter has formed a temporary alliance with Kerrigan yet again to acquire the artifacts. Cutter works alone or in small groups to achieve his ends. The scramble for the artifacts begins, with the worst fight within Kerrigan's own team.

Cutter has a small reserve of mana to use a small cache of abilities.

Abilities

Boiling Rage (personal buff): Cutter becomes enflamed and increases in attack speed and armor.

Impaler (melee ability): Uses 10 energy. Cutter uses his hardened scyth-like blades to attack foes that come into melee range.

Burrow (toggle): Requires no energy. Cutter is unable to attack or move. Burrow enables Cutter to regenerate health and mana slowly.

Shatter (melee 360 AoE ability): Uses 25 energy and 25 health. Usable only when burrowed. If enemies come near Cutter while he is burrowed, Cutter can use Shatter and quickly come from the ground to ram into the above units. Shatter includes a quick flurry of blade slashes after he emerges.

Agility (passive): When increased, Cutter can move faster than any other Hydralisk.

Raining Spines (AoE ability): Uses 50 energy. Cutter spits a series of spines into the air, which come to rain upon a target area. The attack causes splash damage and does more damage than a standard attack.
