Mutalisks can also metamorph into another form, which is believed to be based on the nesting form of the Mantis Screamer. The Zerg Guardian has a thicker armored carapace and attacks by lobbing explosive gobs of acid which have a much longer range than the Mutalisk's spray. This acid can only be directed at targets on the ground below. Guardians have no natural defenses against aerial opponents.
EVula's Notes:
The Guardians are perfect units to use when attacking your enemy's base. It can do lots of damage to ground units, usually from a further distance then the enemy can attack, so your advancing infantry can spot for the Guardian. However, it has no air-to-air attack, and so should be backed up with either Hydralisks, Mutalisks, or Devourers.
