Starcraft 2 Zerg Overview

I am the Queen of Blades, and my stare alone would reduce you to ashes.

The Zerg are an insect-like race. Zerg units are generally weak and cheap, so they must rely on their sheer numbers and speed to defeat their opponents. The Zerg have a key advantage in that they can expand very rapidly, but they are limited to building on creep. The Zerg units and structures also self-heal by regenerating health after some time. Many Zerg units can also burrow giving them time to heal or surprise an incoming army if not scouted properly. Although fragile, Zerg units are very fast and in Starcraft 2 they even receive a speed bonus on the creep making them that much more faster. With the addition of several new units, the Zerg are a force to be reckoned with.
