Description

The Infester reminds strongly of stealthy Defiler from Brood War, with a new ability to Infest almost any building with an unceremonious torrent of brown fluids. It cannot attack, but has one extremely useful ability – to tunnel its way around. This alone makes this support Zerg even more surreptitious than the Defiler and, it can be said, better. After all, the Zerg are all about evolving.

Dark Swarm
Dark Swarm

The Dark Swarm had always been a powerful tool for the Zerg. Covered in a dense orange fog, ground units are capable of avoiding aerial attacks with such ease that they become practically invulnerable to such threats.

Disease
Disease

The Infester can release a deadly Disease which spills forth from it like a malevolent aura. Any organic unit coming in close proximity to it will be bound to catch it and begin to feel its effect.

Infestation
Infestation

The Infester's true purpose is that of using the enemy to fight itself. Infestation takes control of any building, Terran or Protoss alike, and turns its inhabitants into mindless slaves of the Swarm. To this end, Infested Marines can be produced from Infested Barracks and the like. Infested buildings will eventually return to its original owner, purged, after a while.
