First used in places where it was to dangerous to have actual workers. They are used for harvesting Minerals and Vespene gas. They can also repair units and warp in buildings. But unlike the Terran SCV, they can leave to other activities once a warp has been initiated.
The most common Protoss unit. They wear advanced cybernetic suits that allow them to project a psionic shield around their bodies and create powerful large energy blades.
Protoss warriors who have been severely wounded or crippled can volunteer to become anew inside a Dragoon exoskeleton. They are able to fire anti-particle spheres that are very destructive. They can attack both ground and air units making them a vital creature in every Protoss army.
The High Templar are veterans of the Protoss army. They have walked the path of the Khala and were successful in ending the maddening rage of the Zealot. They instead focus their power on Psionic abilities such as the Psionic Storm which attacks all units in a targeted area ad they also have the ability to create a double of a unit. This confuses the enemy and buys you time when overwhelmed.
These are Protoss who were banished from Auir. While being in the deep space for generations, they have learned the secrets of space and are able to bend light around themselves rendering them completely invisible They also have powerful psi-blade weapon technology.
These powerful creatures are born when two High Templar fuse together. This is only done during desperate times and the Templars who do this are honored in scriptures forever. They sacrifice their physical form and become being of pure energy and rage. The can attack both ground and air units. In Starcraft 2, Archons can be formed with the fusion of any protoss in the Templar class.
The Dark Templar have had to face many harsh environments and they have had to adapt and transform their bodies to survive. The Dark Archon is one of the results of that. They are formed when two Dark Templars fuse together. The Dark Templar has some interesting abilities and has no physical attack of it's own. One of them is "Feedback", this ability turns the energies of the unit against themselves causing immense damage. Another ability is "Mind Control" allowing any unit to automatically come under their control permanently. Finally, "maelstrom" is an ability that allows the Dark Archon to stun all units within a targeted area. In Starcraft 2, Archons can be formed with the fusion of any Protoss in the Templar class.
Similar to the Terran Dropship, the Shuttle allows for the transportation of units to anywhere you want. They have no pilots and are almost fully automated.
The Reaver is a Protoss war machine. They have a tiny manufacturing plant inside and produce explosive robotic creatures called "Scarabs". They do explosive damage to buildings and ground units.
These are small drones that are used to record battles for the Protoss archive. They are completely cloaked and give off very little to no energy. They are very useful in spying on the enemy as well.
These are used for exploration and as the name suggests, scouting. They are also pretty powerful. They have both air to air missiles as well as ground attacks. They are also very fast. This makes them very effective units. A weakness to this unit has be it's cost of production is high.
These ships were built by the Dark Templar to safeguard their fleets. They use neutron flares as it's attack. It also has an interesting ability. It uses to Pilots psi-energy to create the "Disruption Web" to stop any attacks from buildings or units on the ground but does not effect air units.
The Arbiter is a powerful component to the Protoss army. It is loaded with psychic Judicator crews. They use their energies to project an energy field that renders all units around the Arbiter to be completely invisible, except it doesn't work on the Arbiter itself. It has the ability to transport any group of units to wherever the Arbiter is located. It also has the ability to create a stasis field around a unit making it unable to move or attack and it last for a long time.
One of the most powerful units in the Protoss army. They act as both command centers and weapons for war. While it has no attack of it's own, it produces small robotic crafts knows as "Interceptors" They relentlessly attack anything with much force. Each carrier can control a maximum of 8 and are deadly when used in larger numbers by more that one Carrier.
After the shrines where Dragoons were created became infested with the Zerg, the protoss decided to create a new weapon where fallen veteran Zealots could still service the Protoss. The Immortal is a Dragoon replacement that has the ability to shield itself from large massive weapon fire but not smaller weapons fire. It is a valuable weapon against more powerful units.
The Stalker is a war machine built by the Dark Templar to survive in hostile environments. Using their knowledge of the dark void of space, they have built these machines with the ability to "blink" or teleport a shot distance making them very difficult targets to hit.
After years of studying space and time, the Protoss have discovered a way to create a crystal computer that is able to transport units to wherever the Phase Prism is located as well powering units and buildings, acting like a portable Pylon, which is as a structural energy source used to power Protoss buildings.
A new Protoss aircraft that replaces the old Scout and Corsair. It's most powerful ability is the fact that it can overload it's warp energy through it's ion blasters creating a powerful storm that damages any unit nearby. This however leaves the unit temporarily crippled and unable to move or attack.
This towering robotic machine uses it's long legs to walk up and or down cliffs giving it nice range against units who cannot. It has powerful thermal lasers on each side of it's body and focuses the beams on a single unit.
These flying Protoss vehicles were created by a combined effort with the Dark Templar after many years of prejudice. This combination led to the creation of this machine. It uses a single prismatic core that fire a single beam of laser. This may not seem effective at first but once used in large numbers, it can destroy larger more powerful units and or buildings in seconds.
The most powerful unit in the Protoss arsenal. Not only does it have it's own ability to attack with homing Psi-energy blasts, it also has some very interesting abilities. One is the "Planet cracker" a massive bolt of energy releases from the bottom of the ship destroying anything underneath. It also has the ability to make any unit it around it to become completely invisible. Finally, it has the ability to unleash a "Time Bomb" which slows down time in a targeted area rendering them pretty much too slow to attack and all incoming attacks, such as projectiles, into or out of the time field, are slowed down as well. It did have the ability to create black holes which would suck in and destroy all air units around it but it was deemed too powerful and removed from the game.
One of three major races in Starcraft. A noble and powerful race.
Overview
The Protoss were the first race created by the Xel'Naga. As the Protoss grew, they expanded rapidly in their knowledge and technology. They worshiped the Xel'Naga at first but eventually they rebelled against them. The Protoss live in a tribal society. They have powerful psionic capabilities that are even more personified by the tentacles that come out of the back of their heads. There was a minority in their race called the Dark Templar who had different philosophies than what the other Protoss followed, the Khala. They were banished from the Protoss home world Auir and they cut off their Tentacles making them impossible to detect in the depths of space even telepathically. This also made them able to learn different technologies.Protoss Starcraft Units
