Shrieker

Shrieker [Creature]

The Shrieker is a creature that has appeared mysteriously just after the Brood War. The creature has been deemed as a invasive species by the Terran Dominion and is a nusiance to those that have to deal with their disposal. Shriekers are rapid reproducers that take over the land, kicking off the inhabiting creatures that are native there. Shrieker nests can expand for miles, above and underground. The Shrieker is known best for its ear-splitting call.

The Shrieker is about the size of a man, it is quadrapedal and bears sharp talons and teeth. Shriekers are furious when stumbled upon. They are often encountered by the Terran and Protoss, while the Shrieker systematically avoids the Zerg. Some Terran disposal units have theorized that the Shrieker is sentient but there is no proof, any group that tries to study the Shrieker end up dead. These beings are not the type to mess with. One offical on Emperor Mengsk's Cabinet muttered to the press about the Shrieker disposal programs, "The only good Shrieker is a dead Shrieker."
