There's something has been troubling me for some time.
I've just finished replaying Prophecy, for the first time since about 2001, and subsequently spent a morning on Google trying to get answers from wiki sources and from this very forum, but with little luck.
Let's talk about the bugs...
What do we really know about this race? I mean in terms of their homeworld, their culture and their history. I find Prophecy deals with the bugs in a similar way to how WC1 dealt with the Kilrathi, a mysterious enemy with only the occasional glimpse at their physical form, the odd cut scene perhaps.
That's obviously where the similarities between our two foes end, from what we see of Blair's death, the Nephilim is an insect-like 'slimey' creature, 14 feet tall with extendable wings.
Also... to avoid starting another thread, I wanted to bring up Melek's speech to Blair shortly after the destruction of Kilrah, in the novel he describes humanity's victory over the Kilrathi as a 'folly' to human interests, claiming that the Kilrathi had long acted as a buffer between humanity and other enemies of Kilrah, who the cats had long kept out of humanity's sphere.
Could this be the Nephilim?
