The Zerg are a mysterious, predatory group of biological terrors. The only information available on them are from the remains of log entries and sensor records found in debris left in the swarm's destructive path. Areas the Zerg inhabit are covered with a dense carpet of Creep, a biological material used to sustain the Colony. Vespene gas is important for fueling their accelerated metabolisms. The greatest strengths of the Zerg lie in their ability to rapidly spawn different breeds from Larva and the ability to regenerate hit points and energy. All Zerg ground units (except the Ultralisk) have the ability to Burrow underground to avoid enemy detection. Although only the Lurker can attack while burrowed, all units continue to regenerate hit points and energy levels while underground. These combined abilities make the Zerg very resiliant and difficult to eradicate. Yellow letters denote Production Hot Keys and red denotes Brood War Upgrades and Units.
