Zerg
The Zerg are insect-like creatures that symbiotically bond with their hosts and incorporate their hosts' genetic data into their own. Their evolution on their homeworld of Zerus was nurtured by the ancient race of Xel'Naga, who also created the Protoss. They created the Overmind, a collective consciousness that controls all Zerg. As the Zerg grew and consumed other races, they realized that the Xel'Naga had many favorable genetic traits and consumed them as well. By destroying their creators, they discovered the existance of the Protoss and the Terran and plan to incorporate both races' genetic data with their own as well.
Zerg buildings can only be built on creep, a purple organic membrane that provides nutrients. Drones morph into Zerg buildings. Because they are alive, they can regain health over time. Zerg buildings cannot build units like Terran or Protoss. Instead, the larvae mutate into different units.
Basic Units and Buildings
Hatchery
Hatcheries are a resource drop off point and produce larvae. A Hatchery can only have three larvae at a time. They can evolve into a Lair and then a Hive to produce larvae faster, increase the building's health and armor, and unlock upgrades for overlords.
Spawning Pool
Allows the player to mutate larvae into zerglings and also upgrades zerglings' movement and attack speed.
Overlord
Overlords provide supplies for the Zerg units. They can detect hidden units and transport Zerg ground units.
Drone
The drone is a basic worker unit. It gathers resources and morphs into buildings.
Zergling
Zerglings hatch in pairs from one larva. They attack other ground units by slashing them with their claws.
Hydralisk
Hydralisks can attack both ground and air units from a distance by spitting corrosive acid at them.
