Introduction

Welcome to how to make anorigami Hydralisk. Thiscomplicated piece of foldedpaper will go great with your

collection of other StarCraftmemorabilia. Whether youare a casual or hardcoregamer, an origami Hydralisk

is a great way to pay homageto one of the greatest gamesevery made: StarCraft.

Origami

Before we begin the origami process, we should take acouple of minutes to learn the rich history of origami.

Buddhist monks broughtpaper from China to Japanduring the 6th century. Thevery first, Japanese origami

is dated from this period.1

Basic techniques in origami havehelped advance science. The,Miura map fold is a rigid fold that

has been used to deploy large

solar panel arrays for spacesatellites. It treats a rigid material

like a piece of origami paper. 2

The crane is a very commonpiece of origami art as it is an

auspicious symbol in theJapanese culture. 1

The word origami is derivedfrom, ori meaning to fold,

and kami, meaning paper.1

Origami PaperAlthough any paper can be used in origami folding, they all have their

advantages and disadvantages. Figure 1 details what each paper does best. Werecommend kami for the Hydralisk but regular printer paper will also suffice.

Warnings and Cautions

Since origami is a very paper intensive activity,please be careful of paper cuts.

If you do cut yourself, immediately stop and take

care of the cut. Disinfect the affected area with rubbing alcohol

Apply a liquid bandage to the affected area to seal off thepain receptors from the air.

Be patient. Origami is not a quick activity. Taketime and make sure all your creases and foldsare accurate.


7/36

Step 1

1) Crease the paper along themiddle in all the directions

shown in the first picture.


8/36

Steps 2 - 3

2) Fold along a diagonal crease tocreate a triangle.

3) Fold along the middle crease ofthat triangle and make a smallertriangle.


9/36

Steps 4 - 5

4) Push the left corner of the triangle(blue) to the right side, folding along

the creases.5) Smoothing the folds should createthe square (left), turn it over to do thesame thing again.


10/36

Steps 6- 7

6) This time, pull the right corner(blue) to the left side, folding along

the creases.7) Smooth out the folds to create asquare. Now both sides should besquare shaped.


11/36

Steps 8 - 9

8) Make the diagonal creases drawn(dashed), by folding and unfolding theflap created by pulling the left corner to

the center.

9) After making the diagonal creases onthe left and right, make the horizontalcrease by folding the top down so that theresulting flaps two corners meet the

edges of the diagonal creases.


12/36

Steps 10 - 12

10) Pull the bottom corner (blue) up abovethe entire origami, folding along the

horizontal crease (dashed).11) Smooth out the folds along the creasesto make the diamond shape (green).

12) Flip over to do the same thing to theother side.


13/36

Steps 13 - 14

13) Pull the bottom corner (blue) up abovethe entire origami, folding along thehorizontal crease (dashed).

14) Smooth out the folds along the creasesto make the diamond shape (green).


14/36

Step 15

15) Fold in the left and right cornersto center to make 2 new flaps.


15/36

Steps 16 - 17

16) Flip what you just did over, soyou can do the same thing to the

other side.17) Again, fold in the flaps from the

left and right to make theresultant kite-shape (left).


16/36

Steps 18 - 19

18) Fold one of the legs to the sideto create a diagonal crease that

starts at the apex of that opening(blue).

19) Fold the flap back, revealing thecrease you have made (green).


17/36

Step 20

20) Now along that crease you hadjust made, make a reverse fold

(turning the leg inside out).


18/36

Step 21

21) Do the same thing to the otherleg.

Note: Making a crease first canmake reverse folds neater. They areoptional and sometimes can beimpossible.


19/36

22) Turn the origami around so you can make the next folds

23) Fold in the corners on the side (blue) to the center, creating 2 new flaps.

24) Flip the origami to the other side and do the same thing, thinning what willbecome the hydralisks arms (green).


20/36

25) Make a crease (dashed) by folding the leg so that it isperpendicular to the other leg.

26) Use that crease to make a reverse fold that results in the leg

pointing perpendicularly away from the rest of the model.


21/36

Step 27a

27a) Make another reverse fold

(dashed) that will result in theremaining of the leg pointingperpendicularly (green) to the previousfolds.


22/36

Step 27b

Optional:

27) b) Make one last reverse fold (dashed)

Note: This step will make the hydralisks tail will point away from the

ground when it will be able to stand.


23/36

Steps 28 - 29

28) Hold the arms (green) in half along thecenter (dashed) so that all components of thearms are perpendicular to the tail (pink).

29) Bring the top corner (blue) of the leg down(arrow) so that it makes a flat surface with thetop of the arms.

Note: Laying the flat surface down on the tableshould now result in the tail pointing straight up

towards you (orange)


24/36

Note

Note: At this point, rotating thehydralisk around should reveal a flatside that is composed of the top ofthe arms (green) and what used tobe the outer sides of the leg(orange).


25/36

Steps 30 - 31

30) Open up the underside of what will be thehydralisks head (green).

Note: To be sure you are not opening more thanyou should, you should check that you are notrevealing any white surfaces.

31) Fold the tip of the head up at where thecreases first meet and split into more creases as

they move up from the tip (dashed).


26/36

Step 32

32) Fold the tip (blue) down from adifferent fold, about of the way to

the tip (dashed)

Note: If you did this right, you shouldhave shortened the length of thehead by about 1 cm.


27/36

Step 33

33) Fold down the sides (dashed) so

that the hydralisk looks like a shorterversion of what it was before step 30.


28/36

Step 34

34) Turn the hydralisk upside downagain, and fold the tip (green) down

so it is tucked under the head.


29/36

Step 35

35) Make reverse folds (dashed) withthe arms so they almost span out

straight away with from the body.

Note: This is one of those occasionswhere it is impossible to make acrease before making the reverse

fold..


30/36

Step 36

36) Crease arm about half way, andmake a reverse fold that points the

arm straight back.


31/36

37) Make another reverse fold half way along the last segment of the arm.

38) Make reverse folds in the same manner for the other arm.


32/36

Steps 40 - 41

40) Fold the arm all the way forward(green) at an angle (dashed)

Note: The angle you chose should resultwith the last segment of the hydralisk armpointing away from its body.

41) Make any other necessary bends andfolds until the arm is positioned at the

hydralisks side as shown (pink)


33/36

Step 42

42) Turn the hydralisk to the otherside and fold the other arm down in

the same manner.

Note: At this point, your hydraliskshould look reptilian and menacing.


34/36

Final touches

44) Fold what used to be the tip of thehead back out.

Note: What used to be the tip of the headshould now look like a sharp tongue.

45) Make any necessary adjustments sothat your hydralisk can balance and standon its own.
