Infestor
The Infestor is an offensive spellcaster, meaning that its abilities are used to harm enemy units rather than support the player’s units. It can be built after the Zerg player has an Infestation Pit. The Infestor has three abilities: Neural Parasite, Fungal Growth, and Infested Terran. Infestors can move while burrowed as long as Burrow has been researched. Infestors must re-surface to cast any spell other than Infested Terran. It may be worth noting that the Infestor has the furthest range of vision (10) among the Zerg ground units and retains it upon burrowing.

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.
