The Goal
What I really want to do here is make a creature that players have no real hope of defeating head-on. It towers over human-sized creatures, which don't even reach its knees. An ultralisk just will not concievably fall to blades and arrows or even to conventional battle spells. It has been evolved to anihilate heavily armored enemies and dismantle fortifications. Adventurers should only engage an ultralisk as part of a much larger force, attempting to turn the tide of battle largely through skill challenges. They may attempt to use natural features of the battlefield, cunning traps, or siege weapons to wear it down, for example.
Ultralisk
The ultralisk is the ultimate zerg answer to any land-bound threat. It is comparable to a mobile fortress, capable of charging and overrunning enemy lines, leaving them shattered and flattened. It might be described as a colossal armor-plated mammoth sporting 4 enormous bladed arms. They show a strong desire to "hug" their enemies - bringing pairs of their arms together in a deadly scisor attack that - as often as not leaving their target in pieces while slicing anything else nearby.
Note: If its powers seem a bit ridiculous, they most likely are. I'm just throwing ideas out there at the moment.
