Lore
This section uses content from the StarCraft Wiki.- The infestor is a zerg unit that appears in StarCraft II.
- Evolved from the borbu matriarch, infestors are one of the more insidious new additions to the Swarm.
- Infestors are carried by sturdy legs that secrete a corrosive substance that softens the soil and allows them to burrow in the blink of an eye. Writhing sensory tentacles that extend from the infestor's jaw serve as a secondary, albeit more powerful, set of eyes and ears by means of thousands of microscopic growths that function as biological transceivers. Further Dominion research on the subject has been slow and fruitless.
- Within the Leviathan infestors, the defensive structures of the base creature are more pronounced. The primal zerg utilize infestors as well, but they are often the targets of larger creatures in their own pack. These infestors have evolved thickened plating along their back to protect themselves. Those infestors enslaved by the Cerberus Program were implanted with a titanium infrastructure to improve their survivability.
