I like the way it looks esoteric, like you cannot really tell what is. Is it flesh? Robot? It doesn't look like just another Zerg or Protoss unit, and its robes looks like a possible inspiration for protoss robes.

I'm so glad you noticed what the design is trying to convey!

Much better than the Chulutu one.

I have no idea why they went for that.

I have no idea what's blizzard thinking? The Xel'naga from Legacy of the Void look alike Chulutu, not Protoss like.

This is what happens when Blizzard lost it's Chief Creative Officer, Rob Pardo, in 2014. Previously the Executive Vice President of Game Design, Rob Pardo was the go-to consultant for Blizzard titles like StarCraft. As a matter of fact, he was probably the prime guy to go to for questions regarding the franchise. Legacy of the Void is the first StarCraft game made mostly without him... which explains the disappointing outcome of it. Besides the really silly idea to make the Xel'Naga look like the Elder God Cthulhu, the worst change post-Pardo was making Artanis the main character instead of Zeratul (who originally was going to be the main character). To add insult to injury, Zeratul was killed early on in the LoTV campaign.
