** And now in the preview for season 3, it had decided to stake out on its own.

** In a similar vein, most protoss units seem to have some level of cruel streak to them. The zealot and archon are always in a state of anger, immortals are the epitome of TranquilFury (except when facing zerglings), and more recently sentries are seen to be master-level trolls. The only exception is the stalkers and overlords, who feel like they're SurroundedByIdiots most of the time.

* RammingAlwaysWorks: A couple of times in the season 2 finale. Patches the marine dives into a tempest shot, the Derpfestor using a Neural Parasited battlecruiser to crush a stalker, and the Corruptor one-shotting a carrier.

* FanNickname: "Patches" (the marine with his butt patched up), "Derpfestor" (the infestor that played with a neural-parasited hellion like it was a toy car), "Bob" (the perpetually angry Zealot that's always at the Protoss base since the very start.

* CurbStompBattle: There are regularly episodes where an army from one side (or even just a handful of units) will show up and proceed to completely wreck (or be wrecked by) the entirety of another sides army.

* RedShirtArmy: Well, it is based on StarCraft Multiplayer.

* GoryDiscretionShot: Not universal, but often appears at the end of an episode, whereupon the title card displays while you hear the audio of the carnage taking place.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: [[invoked]]Everyone gets it at least a little, but the Zerg are subject to it the most. For example, the Queens act like loving mothers to the smaller zerg units, Zerglings act like lovable rambunctious little puppies, and Ultralisks are like big, rather dumb, dogs. Every zerg unit except for the Roach has thus far been deemed "adorable" by fans.

* CallBack: Episodes frequently reference things that happened in previous ones, such as an SCV trying to get revenge on a probe, a particular Marine having a patch on the back of his pants (because a Zergling bit it off), and the Halloween episode was chock full of ones to the original ''Brood War''.

%%* CurbStompBattle: Each side gets to have one on occasion.

You know that RealTimeStrategy game, StarCraft? The one where the Terrans, Zerg, and Protoss duke it out on a regular basis? The one with the insanely popular multiplayer?

Take that game, cibi-fy it a bunch, tweak the personalities of various units, imagine those same units having their own simple little lives, then throw in a healthy serving of HilarityEnsues, and you'll get an idea as to what this series is all about.

Produced by Carbots Animation, Star Crafts (two words) is a animated web series available either through [[http://www.youtube.com/user/CarbotAnimations Youtube]] or the [[http://www.carbotanimations.com/starcrafts/ Carbots Animation Website]] released on roughly a weekly basis on Saturdays. In each short little episode (they generally run only a minute or two on average), the three armies of wage the war you'd expect, but not quite in the way you might expect them to wage it, with hilarious results.

* ArtEvolution: The quality of the designs (to say nothing of the scale of the episodes) has improved drastically over the duration of the series.
* CallBack: Episodes frequently reference things that happened in previous ones, such as an SCV trying to get revenge on a probe, a particular Marine having a patch on the back of his pants (because a Zergling bit it off), and the Halloween episode was chock full of ones to the original Brood War.
* CurbStompBattle: Each side gets to have one on occasion.
* EstablishingSeriesMoment\GrowTheBeard: The first few episodes were fairly straightforward, maybe having a brief visual punchline at the end of an episode. Episode six, however, gave viewers the experience of an Infestor playing with a Hellion while making motor sounds, showing just what kind of shenanigans the future would hold.
* FanNickname: The Infestor is affectionately known by fans as the "Derpfestor".
* HilarityEnsues: Oh, does it ever.
* KillerRabbit: Yes most of the Zerg units look cute and act adorable. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYzPYodO0DU They will still tear you to pieces if they get the chance]].

* OhCrap: On a regular basis.
