As I understand it, all the strains the Zerg have assimilated at this point were the result of a very gradual symbiotic fusion of the original Zerg (essentially larva) with the host organism. Meh, Zerg assimilation/infestation has always seemed a little contradictory to me. What do you think a zerg breed evolved from infested terrans would look like? I think the aberration most closely represents what one may look like. Is there any sort of media (including fan art) showing what any of the races that Zerg breeds were based off of looked like before being assimilated?Ĥ.
But in SC2, it seems to spread like any normal virus, and infested can spread the infection to others.ģ. How does the hyper-evolutionary virus work? In original starcraft, it made me believe it could only be spread through direct injection by whatever creature is seen growing on an infested command center, chyrsalis, etc. As for the marines, I think the rapid mutation only provides temporary control, and the marines snap out of it horrified by what's happened to them and kill themselves.Ģ.
Can there be varying quality levels of infestation among normal infested? I think that in the case of the colonist, the virus only took control of motor functions (if that makes sense) and left the rest of the brain free. However, in Wings of Liberty, an infested colonist pleads to Raynor's raiders "please, kill me," as well as the fact that infested marines spawned by infestors commit suicide after time limit expiration. Most basic infested Terrans seem to be brain-washed minions, not much different than their natural-born zerg counterparts. However, there's also questions and interesting findings that come with these processes.ġ. This is also how the Zerg assimilate new races into the gene pool, infesting members of the species and using their DNA to evolve new strains. Ranging from mindless suicide bombers to the Queen of Blades herself, Infestation can yield unique results, and affects Terrans and wildlife alike, but Protoss seem to be immune. Infestation has always been an interesting aspect of teh Zerg for me.
