These beings were cut during development. While Zurvan was always intended to be the final boss of the Zerus arc, he was originally one of many Ancient Ones. Only once Zurvan's texture was well underway did the developers realize his resemblance to Mr Waternoose. The developers intended this model to be usable for multiple phases of an encounter. Some more dynamic ideas had tentacles coming out of the back and underneath Zurvan instead of legs.Īs his scale in-game was gigantic Zurvan had many details that needed modeling and potential design ideas were up in the air for his role in the game. All of the concepts explored many different ideas which were cherry-picked to be used on the game model.
Luke Mancini then did a multitude of concepts exploring what Zurvan's entire body looked like to match Jacobs's head design. His creation began with a rough sketch by Trevor Jacobs on a whiteboard which showed a really distinct head he had in mind for a mission mechanic. Zurvan was the last thing Phill Gonzales worked on for Heart of the Swarm, and the modeling, texturing, and animation for him took 3 months to complete. The following section contains information from a previous version of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm which is no longer valid. She expected Zurvan's challenge, and killed and absorbed its essence as well. Once a primal Kerrigan killed and absorbed the essences of the other pack leaders, she became worth consuming. When Kerrigan came to Zerus, she was far less powerful than Zurvan.
Most importantly, it directed her to use the first spawning pool to transform into a primal-based human-zerg hybrid the new form was more powerful than the old Queen of Blades. Zurvan instructed Kerrigan in the ways of the primal zerg and the ancient history of the zerg. The primal Brakk and its pack unsuccessfully attempted to halt the awakening. The Swarm fed Zurvan quillgor to awaken it. On the advice of Dark Prelate Zeratul, Kerrigan sought out Zurvan to help her claim the power of primal zerg. By the time the Swarm returned to Zerus under Sarah Kerrigan, it had been millennia since Zurvan's last evolution. In time, it became a pack leader and became immense both in power and physique. It escaped being incorporated into the Swarm hive mind by Amon and remained on Zerus when the Swarm left the planet. Zurvan was younger than the power found in the first spawning pool but older than the first Overmind.
