The Lurker gives the Zerg a better edge in the cloaking sense. Since Lurkers are the only unit that are able to attack while buried, they are very sneaky and annoying. You can drop 4 Lurkers into your enemy's base and decimate them if they don't have any detection. Or you can randomly place a Lurker here or there on the map to keep your enemy on his toes. But once they learn your strategy and start killing Lurkers easily, they start losing their use. Lurkers are morphed from the Hydralisk. |

The Scourge is a kamikazi unit that has the potential to destroy your enemies large forces. They move pretty fast, but die very easily, so if you send a bunch of them in by themselves, chances are you won't destroy anything uless its a solitarny unit Your best be with the Scourge is to take out a mass of Carriers. After you approach the Carriers, the Carriers need time to deploy all their Interceptors. By the time they are deployed, your Scourges have destroyed the Carrier. |

The Queen lacks any attack of its own, but can become quite an annoying unit if used properly. You never need too many of these, anywhere from 6 to 12 Queens at one time is quite enough, as they are hard to manage in the heat of battle. The Parasite spell has a great use once people learn its potential. |

The Broodling is the unit created when the Queen casts Spawn Broodlings. It is incredibly weak, and die incredibly easily. They really don't have too much use since they die automatically after a short time anyway. Get about 6 Queens to cast Spawn Broodlings at a group of undefended workers and they will be very annoyed, as you can easily infest the Command Center soon after as the Broodlings damage the Command Center enough (if they manage to live long enough) |

If you gain the ability to create Infested Terrans, you gain a great advantage in the battle. These units are devastatingly powerful if you manage to get past thier defense. They can kill pretty much any ground unit instantly, and lay waste to Supply Depots and Pylons. Their splash Damage isn't that large, and their best target is units with melee range such as Zealots or Dark Templar. |

Many Zerg ground units have the
ability to burrow into the ground. When a unit is burrowed, it
cannot move or attack, with the exception of the Lurker. They
also cannot be seen by enemy units uless it is a detector unit.
After you get your
Greater Spire, you gain the option of being able to morph your
Mutalisks into Guardians.
After you get your
Greater Spire, you gain the option of being able to morph your
Mutalisks into Devourers.
The Queen can shoot
a small Parasite at an enemy unit from a long way away. These
Parasites are only removed by Medics and if the unit dies. The
Parasite allows the Zerg player to see everything that specific
unit sees.
Spawn
Broodlings is an extremely troublesome spell - if you are on
the recieving end. It can only be cast on non-robotic ground
units. When you cast it, it kills the unit instantly, producing
two weak Broodlings. There isn't too much you can do against
the Protoss with this spell. The best use for this spell is for
killing Siege Tanks. Then all the other Siege Tanks around it
fire at the Broodlings, probably killing more tanks with the
splash radius.
Ensnare creates
a web of goo that slows down the movement speed of any unit that
it touches until the goo goes away.
After a Command
Center loses considerable Hit Points, the Queen has the Ability
to infest it. When you infest a Command Center, you have the
ability to create Infested Terrans from it.
