Extraterrestrials appear in many video games in a variety of styles. Sometimes they're evil, sometimes they're benevolent, and sometimes they're very similar to humans.
Cerebrates were created by the Overmind to control and command Zerg broods. Their sole purpose is to obey and execute the will of the Overmind.
Changelings are a Zerg spy unit capable of changing its appearance to that of any basic enemy unit. It is produced by the Overseer.
Collective consciousness is best defined as a group or race of beings possessing no minds of their own, but act and are controlled in service of a greater overall purpose, much like ants. They make great villains!
Creep is a living purple organic substance. This is essential in the creation of almost all Zerg buildings. It slowly grows as your base expands and in Starcraft 2, the Overlord and Queen units have the ability to create Creep.
Whether it be Mario vs. Bowser, Jedi vs. Sith, Link vs. Ganon, or Elves vs. Orcs, the forces of good are in an eternal battle with the hordes of evil.
When a character or group of characters does something extremely brave on behalf of another character or group of characters, knowing that they will get killed or seriously injured in the process.
A snake-like projectile using Zerg unit from the StarCraft series. It can evolve into a Lurker in the expansion Brood Wars.
Armed forces. The arm of government that deals with fighting wars and protecting a nation from external or internal threats
The basic Zerg flyer unit from the StarCraft series. Infamously known for harassing ground units with their "bouncing" projectile attack.
The floating farm unit that provides supply for the sprawling Zerg army in the StarCraft universe.
Regenerating health is a gameplay mechanic which automatically refills the players health bar after successfully escaping damage for a set amount of time. It is typically seen in RPGs and modern first/third-person shooters.
Two or more factions, either with the same or completely different goals, that constantly try to one-up each other. The player is sometimes forced to pick a side to root or work for during the struggle. Other times the rivalry is only mentioned in the plot.
The Roach is the basic ranged unit for the Zerg. It regenerates health very fast while burrowed, and with upgrades, it can move while burrowed as well.
Many games feature storylines about wide, sweeping combat between three radically different factions.
A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
A savage, animalistic alien Swarm that seeks out other species in the universe, intending to absorb the useful and exterminate the unworthy.
A small and weak but fast and relentless starting unit in the Zerg race from the StarCraft series. Very effective in packs.
