In the current build the Swarm Guardian has been replaced with a new unit called the Brood Lord, this will basically be the same unit mechanic wise, but it will have a way beefier health and attack, and best of all a fresh new model. It still has the Swarm Guardians ability (Which is spawn 1 weak broodling everytime it attacks for 2-3 seconds). Here is the quote from Dustin Browder (Lead Designer):
Zergs Air has been seen previously as a swarmy low-damaged fleet, but with this new beefy assault unit, we may see the Zerg taking the air this time round in SC2.
[Dustin Browder] Zerg has a new flying heavy assault unit known as the Brood Lord. This one is buff! Much more intimidating than the Guardian and will still be morphed from the Mutalisk. This unit will be replacing the previously seen Swarm Guardian and will have new art as well. This unit currently has 350 hit points and a large range of 9, doing 25 damage and spawning a Broodling upon each attack, which will live for a few short seconds, doing minor melee damage.
