Concept Art by Luke Mancini (c) Blizzard Entertainment, authorized for use on fansites The roach is a sturdy front-line unit with enormous health-regeneration capabilities. It is designed to absorb as much damage as possible while weakening enemy defenses with its projectile acid attack. It is also a flanking specialist, able to tunnel underground to surround enemy forces or surprise an unprepared enemy. When the roach has accomplished its objective, it will burrow back underground and tunnel away, rapidly regenerating from any injuries.
