Overlord
The semi-intelligent space-faring giants, known as the Gargantis Proximae, were introduced into the swarm so that their exceptionally well-developed senses would benefit Zerg warriors in battle. The Gargantis flyers have been so well assimilated by the swarm that the Cerebrates use them as a primary control over their forces. Coordinating and directing the hive warriors in battle, the overlords often serve as advance commanders with their enhanced senses.
This particular race of Overlords seems to only exist in larger Zerg hives, but in general it’s just a good idea to destroy all these creatures as soon as they’re spotted, just for safety’s sake.

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.
