Starcraft Units – Overseer

Overseer

The Overseer is a Zerg unit that is morphed from an Overlord. It has some abilities which the Overlord does not have: the ability to Detect invisible units, spawn Changelings and Contaminate. The Overseer is extremely useful for scouting and detecting enemy units/positions. It moves faster than the Overlord and also receives the benefit of the Pneumatized Carapace upgrade. In return, it loses the Overlord’s ability to transport units and Generate Creep.

It is a generally a good idea to include Overseers in a mid-end game army to detect any stealth units.

ZERG

General Information

The Zerg are arguably the youngest race in the 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.
