Dark Templar – Protoss Unit

December 4th, 2008

More sinister than their Khala loving brethren, the Dark Templar are truly powerful beings. Solitary and adventurous in spirit the Dark Templar learned to harness a far more formidable force from their psionic abilities known as the ‘energies of the void.’

Silent and deadly, these units stalk their pray with an unnerving familiarity. Their void energy makes it possible for them to become invisible as often as they wish and cause havoc inside an unsuspecting enemy base. They use warp blades to kill their foes, a kind of scythe that is filled with void energy.

A distinguishing feature is the absence of the Protoss stem that grows from the back of their necks. Fiercely guarding their individuality they cut it off so that a greater distinction can be made between the two units. The armor they wear is gray and they tend to glow a pleasant aquamarine color when invisible.

Dark Templar units are good for ambush tactics during game play, or a host of them will match a horde of burrowed hydralisks.
