Description

It is well known that the likeliest survivor of a nuclear war is the cockroach, and the Zerg Roach seem to mimic this principle. While it isn't said that it can resist a nuclear blast, it sure has all the genetic traits for survival. Extremely rapid tissue regeneration, swift and can reach great velocities, and the most extraordinary attribute – the absorption of damage, probably with a stronger-than-steel carapace.


Roaches are able to rip apart slower infantry with ease, and would win any of 1 on 1 battles. Able to regenerate 15 hit points per second, roaches are a terror to zealots and lone units, and are a force to not be trifled with even if numbers are on your side.
