   This type of Zerg looks to be a Hydralisk, though it is larger than usual and tinted a dull red colour.

Description
   The highest evolution of the standard Hydralisk strain, the Hunter-Killers are often tasked with protecting and escort other important units. They seem to relish combat most, and are quite adept at tracking down and destroying enemies who try to flee before the Swarm.

Combat
   Like lesser Hydralisks, the Hunter-Killers carapace holds hundreds of deadly spines, their preferred method of assault. Opponents who close to melee will find the creatures equally deadly there, however.
   Spines (Ex): As a standard action, a Hunter-Killer can unleash a volley of spines from its carapace as a ranged attack (with a +4 racial bonus) with a 100 ft. range increment. This attack deals 3d8 points of piercing damage, plus 1.5 times the Hunter-Killer's Str modifier, and 1d4 points of acid damage.
   Skills: Hunter-Killers have a +4 racial bonus to Hide and Listen checks while underground.
