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.
Farming is the act of growing plants and raising animals for food.
Enemies that prefer to keep a distance to the ground, and swoop down occasionally to do some damage.
Giant Insects are insects and other 'bugs' that are far larger than in the real world. Some are about half the size of a human, others are bigger than buildings. Larger than life or gigantic insects are a common element in many video games, especially those of the RPG Genre.
An numeral indication of how much damage a character can sustain. The loss of all hit points results in the death of the character or another penalty.

Minerals are the primary resource featured in many games.
The Overseer functions as a detector, as well as an energy-based support unit for the Zerg army in Starcraft II. It is the evolved form of the Overlord.
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.
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.
A savage, animalistic alien Swarm that seeks out other species in the universe, intending to absorb the useful and exterminate the unworthy.
