Drone

The savage Gashyrr Wasps of Eldersthine were initially inducted into the Swarm to serve as resource gatherers. Over time they became Drones, engineered with the Larvae’s ability to break down their own genetic code. Drones can transform themselves into rudimentary Zerg structures. A mutating Drone needs creep to provide nourishment and biomass to support its new form. Like Larvae, Drones are controlled by the Overlords, who monitor their progress through a type of instinctive telepathy. Drones are single-minded about their tasks, diligently working even in the face of raging combat and the possible destruction of the Hive.

General Strategy

  • Worker unit.
  • Transforms itself into Zerg structures, and is consumed in the process.
  • Can transform into more advanced structures as the Hatchery is upgraded.
  • Able to gather minerals and vespene gas.
  • Can attack for minimal damage.
  • Can burrow with the Burrow upgrade, allowing them to observe or obstruct potential expansions or hide themselves on the map in preparation for future building.
  • Regenerate their health after being damaged, unlike Protoss Probes.

Evolutions

  • Burrow: Allows the unit to take cover underground, rendering it unable to attack. A burrowed unit is invisible unless revealed by detectors or effects.
