The Defiler Mound allows you to build Defilers. Sadly, so many players don't realize the potential power of the Defiler and refuse to bother making these, even in long drawn out games when it couldn't hurt.

 

 

 
Nydus Canal    Stats Upgrades/Special Abilites

 

 

 

 

Building Type: Fast Transport

        System

Cost: 150

Build Time: 40

Requires: Hive

Hit Points: 250

 

 

The Nydus Canal is a fast way to transport ground units instantly from one place to another. You build a Nydus Canal, then you click on the Canal, and tell it to build a Nydus Canal exit on any Creep surface that you can presently see, it doesn't even have to be your own. So if you are sneaky enough, you can build one right in your enemy's base and zap all your units there, although you don't get too lucky this often. If a Nydus Canal is destroyed, the exit is destroyed also.

 

 

 
 Ultralisk Cavern    Stats Upgrades/Special Abilites

 

 

 

 

  

Building Type: Special Unit

          Structure

Cost: 150 200

Build Time: 80

Requires: Hive

Hit Points: 600

Allows You to Make:

Chitinous Plating increses the armor of the Ultralisk by 2, giving the maximum armor of the Ultralisk a total of 6.

200 200

Anabolic Synthesis increases the movement speed of the Ultralisk greatly. I have yet to determine if it also increases the attack rate.

150 150

 

Although the Ultralisk isn't vital to the game, they can become extremely useful at times. When your enemy has many strong units, make many Ultralisks. If your enemy has many weak, swarming units, go for Hydralisks or Mutalisks.
