Hatchery
The Hatchery is the heart of any Zerg Cluster. Not only does it serve as a resource gathering point and central processing facility, but it also produces the larvae from which all other Zerg are spawned. Larvae are constantly being produced and will not move away from the hatchery in which they originated. Like all other Zerg structures, Hatcheries are living organisms that heal over time from damage. This is what makes destroying them so difficult. The hatchery is the only “building” that can be constructed without any pre-existing crawlers, as its genetic program enables it to produce enough food for its own growth. In order to increase the biomass later, however, crawler colonies are still needed.

ZERG – THE SPAWN OF THE SWARM
WILD. FATIGUE. FLEXIBLE.
Once artificially created by the mighty Xel`Naga, the Zerg would eventually lead to their demise and become a threat to the entire galaxy. Because of their collective consciousness, this species is often referred to simply as “the Swarm.” In their quest for perfection, the Zerg adopt advantageous and superior gene strands into their own gene pool, wiping out “inferior” species in the process.
Zerg Buildings
While the Protoss rely on technological superiority and the Terrans on their adaptability, the savage Zerg rely mostly on pure mass. The mostly lightly armored creatures usually pounce on their opponents from all sides on the battlefield, leaving only a picture of devastation in their wake.
