I just knew a site as popular as cracked in the OP would instantly draw derision.

Primal - Ancient tribal spirit
One of the lost gods of a South American tribe long gone into extinction, he remains. He was put to rest and only awoken because of the mad commotion of the world of late. He has a mans body with a thorn through his tongue and many tattoos. He has been known, however to take the form of a reptile with feathers, sometimes still remaining humanoid, sometimes closer to a serpent. He is thin and clad in wooden and copper armor. He represents the warrior spirit of men, a son of the spirit of war. He was sealed in a mountain after consuming the blood of the spanish and slowly being put to slumber by the death of his people.

Oh man, Miles Quaritch from Avatar. What a lad.

He tries to get the Naa'vi to let some engineers dig up some generic sci-fi minerals, peacefully. Three times. On the fourth after Jake Sully finishes being incompetent again he tries to get them to move non-violently, only ever using weapons that harm their tree home after the smurfs try killing them. Quaritch's move to blow up their Tree-God only happens after 2000 warriors show up at the border of the colony.
I don't see why this is supposed to be the BBEG. If he actually does show up in the sequel (somehow), happy days for humanity all round.

I already loved this RTD, and now it seems to be getting even better! Speaking of teams, I was thinking me, Xantlos, Superblast, and maybe even Kadzar (if he is evil as he claimed he would be) could be a team.

So yeah, PETA is messing with videogames again.

Good job, PETA. It's not like they're a race bent on killing us all or anything.

You foolish terrancentric colonist. You forget also that the Terrans are hell bent on exterminating all of the Zerg and nearly succeeded. The Zerg have been trying to survive amid a hostile universe full of protoss and terrans. They've killed as many as all others have - Kerrigan points out this hypocrisy in that all have blood on their hands.
It's a shame PETA didn't consult the fluff more rigorously. Getting all compassionate for all living things is a nice thing to do but it's so out of place in a videogame not about such a thing. Political agendas and entertainment do not mix well. When the Zerg are treated as animals they are often underestimated and subsequently are victorious. Most of the underlings ARE animals, completely devoid of emotion and thought. In HOTS Kerrigan starts making them more independent, more understandable. The game itself does a better job than PETA's parody.
