The day has finally come. Starcraft lore is here

Whoever wrote the script seems to not fundamentally understand that the larva IS the zerg, it just evolves from there to whatever the swarm needs at that time.

But good video anyway! =D

The zerg, tyranids, xenomorphs, all take inspiration from the writings of  Robert Heinlein.
The races of arachnids, humans and the skinnies influenced the designs for zerg, terrans (with power armor) and the protoss.
Even Babylon 5 modeled the shadows from Heinlein's description of the bugs

Zerg are much more akin to the Tyranids of Warhammer 40k. They’re a space faring insect race that travels from planet to planet looking to assimilate biomatter through invasion and are governed by a hivemind. Then again, I believe Star Craft was supposed to be a 40k game so that’s probably why they’re nearly identical lol

Who is here after seeing the new Starcraft trailer?

A lot of you compare the Zergs and the Tyranids but I say, I prefer the Zergs because they could develope primed zerges that could think by themselves, also Kerrigan is bad ass.  We will see if the 10th edition gives us an anti hero or villain like Kerrigan to the Kids.

For everyone complaining about not mentioning the Tyranids.. just stop, you're embarassing yourselves.
The Tyranids 3rd edition codex (The one that turned them into the Tyranids that we know today) came out in 2001; Starcraft came out in 1998, and the Zerg were very different from what the 2nd edition Tyranids were.
The 2nd edition Tyranids were individuals, not a hive mind (nor was a hive mind even touched up on till the mid 2000's); and they spoke with bio-tech radios and carried things in pouches and used bio-tech and slave races.
Go look up what the 2nd edition Tyranids actually were and see just how un-Tyranid they are and the Zerg of 1998 are what the 2001 Tyranids used as a template for the restructuring of the army.

Oh hell yes more starcraft. My childhood...

Here's A lil fact i found out: Originally the Zerg had their name spelled identical to Emperor Zurg from Toy story so they changed it to avoid Copyright laws

Zergs are more common with Tyranids but this not means all three franchises can't have similarities.

If you add halo too then you have the 4 riders apocalypse.

Swarm, Nids, Flood, Xenos are great opponents to anyone.

I'm old so I hate new things. I remember a time when the Zerg were just these parasitic worms before the Xel'naga showed up, saw some potential in their gene stealing abilities, then became the swarm through the creation of the overmind "the perfection of will".

Nice StarCraft 👍

Frigging finally!
Been waiting for this vid for years.. thanks guys!
Big fan here..👍

While I personally believe that robots are more efficient than organic beings...I still have a lot of respect for what organic beings can do (I mean, just look at some of the members of the real world animal kingdom, like The Lyre Bird, The Komodo Dragon, and The Turritopsis Dohrnii, also known as "The Immortal Jellyfish"). The Zerg are a perfect example to how lethal organic beings can be when their ability to adapt is taken to insane levels, and they are one of my favorite factions in scifi!😁

The Zerg are super creepy antagonists in the StarCraft universe in my opinion.

Very good video my brother. FOR THE SWARM! Just wish u spent another few or so minutes talking about the units more

Personally. Im a guy who loves the side evil characters more then anything. And the dominion was so damn cool to play in starcraft 2 with the heros game mode

The Xenomorph similarity are so superficial. And yeah 40K Tyranids, but honestly based on how their hive mind is described they sound more like the Flood from Halo to me.

Absolutely love these games, great vid

Now we need an origin video on Chico, Julio's killer goat, from Sanford and Son.
