The Level 80 Tauren Space Marine

Blizzard has always been one for hiding little references to other games and various avenues of pop culture in their games. With an ode to their previous games in the Warcraft series (World of Warcraft and warcraft III) Blizzard dropped this little gem of an easter egg into the mix of Starcraft II.

The LVL80TSM! (Level 80 Tauren Space Marine!) If you can manage to make your way to the top left corner of the campaign level Zero Hour you will find a reluctant bovine space marine waiting. Unfortunately he is easily spooked and as you approach he will make his retreat to his outhouse rocket and escape the level! I had read of this but never actually bothered to go looking for him until a few days later when I noticed his rocket powered outhouse was flying around below yet another level I was playing (Maw of the Void.) To better show off his presence in the game here is a YouTube video I found compiling the easter egg as it appears throughout the campaign.
