The monolith is a structure. During the development of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, it was called the dark pylon,[4][5] then the obelisk.[6] The name "obelisk" was given to another building.
History[]
During the Second Great War, Raynor's Raiders encountered monoliths aboard a derelict xel'naga worldship. The monoliths were erected around a Tal'darim-guarded vault containing a component to a xel'naga device.[7]
Game Unit[]
Monoliths have no abilities and behave like pylons. They may not be clicked on or selected.

Trivia[]
- The model of the monolith was later reused for the xel'naga crystals in the Heart of the Swarm mission "Phantoms of the Void."
- Dark pylons later appeared in Legacy of the Void in the missions "The Growing Shadow" and "Amon's Reach" with a new model. These dark pylons were later used by Vorazun in Co-op Missions.
