The airborne Corruptor swoops over the battlefield with only one aim – to corrupt. While it does not inflict damage directly, its blob-like attacks combine with a ship's hull to create grand effects. After enough of the mutated structure has accumulated on a ship's outer surface or the like, a mutated growth begins to form. This indicates that the ship is now under Zerg control: it cannot move and will attack nearby enemy units with a continuous barrage of sharp projectiles. Air units should stay clear of the Corruptor, as it can only strike flying targets.
