Larve
The creatures that come closest to the original Zerg Insectoids are the Zerg Larvae. Though their size and toughness have been vastly improved by Xel’Naga experimentation, they still possess the two traits that first fascinated their former masters: genetic diversity and psychic sensitivity. Each larva contains within it the genetic blueprint of all other Zerg races. A young swarm initially has only the genetic code for the most basic Zerg races, such as the drone. However, as the larvae grow and create new structures, their collection of genetic strains expands. At a command from the swarm, the larvae enter their pupal stage and begin metamorphosis into whatever race is needed in the swarm.

ZERG
General Information
The Zerg are arguably the youngest race in the Starcraft universe, but as suddenly as they appeared, so rapidly did their numbers and power grow. With sharp claws, teeth and tusks, these savage beasts charge at their opponents and fight to the death without rhyme or reason. This boundless brutality and great willingness to sacrifice, combined with their large numbers, makes almost every opponent tremble.
Even though the organic building structures grow out of order and the attacks of the zerg hordes seem unplanned, it is known that they are commanded by a powerful being – the Overmind – with the help of psi powers. Since the Overmind is under Terran control, its most powerful creation – the assimilation Sarah Kerrigan – has seized command of the swarms.
