@Justin Blaze Draxx oh nice comments. The zerg is smaller then the tyrids but more agile. The tyrids are huge so they need suck planets dry, the zerg need just 1 drone to make a big hive. The zerg can create many smaller army to equal tyrid attack force. Doesn't take long to take a planet.
@Justin Blaze Draxx I'm pretty sure in canon lore, the more "complex" the mutations become, the more difficult it is to replicate. So they could do it, but not in such a massive scale like they do now. CMIIW tho, that's just what i understood from playing the zerg campaign in SC2
it'll be awesome if you would also include the animals the zerg consumed, like the hydralisk was once what people called caterpillar cows and then later infused with the swarm or like the leviathans that were once space-borne creatures before being infested by the zerg, turning them into armored carriers.
Please don’t kill me………but I personally prefer Zergs instead of Tyranids. I heard of Zergs and Starcraft earlier than Warhammer 40k. So I’m really happy that you made this vid so that I can learn more about one of my favourite aliens.
I love StarCraft but I wish it had stayed a 40k Game with the same Gameplay. I'd love a Timeline where Blizzard was making 40k Games in it's heyday. That instead of WoW we got Warhammer Fantasy version. Instead of StarCraft we got 40k version with the Horus Heresy and and a 40k Universe of games by Prime Blizzard before they sold their souls.
@@justinlast2lastharder749 yeah I’ve been watching a lot of StarCraft speed runs and challenges so i got interested in the lore. But it’s boring compared to 40k lol
Prior to 3rd edition (which came out 6 months after Starcraft), there really wasn't a great deal of similarity between Zerg and Tyranids. Most of the similarities people point to were changes GW made later to make the Tyranids more Zerg-like
@@hunterlong1820 Oh yes give me 2571th same space marine chapter :) I always liked both starcraft and warhammer, people should stop putting them into same category, because they are completely different. They are different stories about different things, told in completely different ways. To best experience starcraft is to play it yourself. To best experience warhammer is to watch youtube hours long videos and read books. Starcraft is more of a continous story, you are at all important events. Meanwhile in warhammer you just hear that something happend 30k years ago, it focuses more often at small events in far bigger universe than that of sc. People look that there is power armor and zerg are like tyranids and asume starcraft is same thing, which it is not. No more than starwars are like startrek... I suggest to play starcraft yourself. Probably start from the starcraft II because sc1 is very old and difficult, but both are free and 100% worth trying out. If you played a lot of dawn of war 1 you may try sc1... but it is far more difficult of a game than dawn of war.
I've watched the videos about all three factions now. This is a quality channel you guys got. No annoying meta CZcams bullshit thrown in, and great vocal performances by the both of you. The narration has great character and pulls you in. Great stuff.
Seeks perfection. Assimilates other creatures. Almost universally feared and despised. Driven by a collective hive mind. They're basically a biological counterpart to the Borg. And just as terrifying if not more so.
Awesome video guys, I just love these it’s something about swarm(like tyranid or necromrphs)or machine(like reapers or strogg) enemies r my favorite glad to see y’all back
The Zerg imo is the ultimate biological race very often compare to the Tyranids from 40k as they were first intended to be the Tyranids back when SC was supposed to be a 40k game. The Tyranids gets outmatched in almost every aspect when compared to the Zerg. The 2 main resons ppl tend to use to justify Tyranids being stronger is there numbers but thats just a lazy way to amp up 40k as a whole becouse of the universes size and not the races power in itself. And the 2nd that the Shadow in the Warp ability would cut off the hive mind link the Zerg have. That ability cuts off the link betwinn the user and the warp but the Zerg hive mind dont have anything to do with a warp based link/communication so that ability would be useless vs the Zerg. The Tyranids do have a larger unit roster then the Zerg and while they can evolve and adapt there units they are completely outclassed as far as evolution speed compared to the Zerg. Not to mention that every single unit in the Zerg roster have rapid regeneration and if a strong enough zerg mind is near by they can even activate the regeneration process in dead units reviving them on the spot. The Zerg race is far more powerful then they initially seems to be.
Zerg actually don't much resemble what the Tyranids were at the time Starcraft came out. Most of the similarities people point to (both aesthetic and conceptual) didn't come about til 3rd Edition of 40k, which came out about 6 months after Starcraft (and made the Tyranids considerably more Zerg-like--something 4th Edition doubled down on) Starcraft wasn't ever going to be a 40k game.

Both of them are living in colonies like ants but the only difference is the zergs are capable of morphing and genetic manipulation/engineering that's why every unit/ species have the abilities like spitting acid, shoot spines, erupt ground spikes while burrowed etc.
@@slomnim thats why amon makes no sense. He's like a machine, saying the same thing over and over, "end the cycle of suffering", woah!!! What a clever villain, his motives are none. He just wants everyone dead, for no reason, like if someone coded, and programed a machine with one purpose, no matter what. Instead of a well written villain like the overmind whose motivation was, envy towards the xelnaga and protoss(they were clearly more advanced than zerg, they basically ate energy hence no mouths), a sense of superiority over the terrans or anyone else, like he was some sort of Hitler, he displayed "human" emotions, which any conscious race had, (protoss aeon of strive, the hated each other, terrans civil wars) so basically sc1 presented racism, and very explicit for instance, dark templar holocaust, and how they escaped aiur to shakuras. Sc2 has no such depth, its a cartoony videogame about good and bad, and the good always win, instead of sc1 where kerrigan the "evil" won
What is happening to all Zerg Cerebrate??? Why suddenly all Zerg Broodmothers replaced all the original Zerg Cerebrate??? Did Kerrigan kill all the Zerg Cerebrate????
Thank god they didn't mention that Kerrigan morphed back into a 28 year old redhead with cheeky comments like MJ Watson from Spiderman the animated series, just to surprise her former terran "ally" at a bar ...
I didn't like how there was a mismatch between Zerg lore and the storyline. Basically the Zerg were supposed to be ever limited by the flesh. But in-game, they are ALREADY at the Hybrid level, performing beyond expectations. Both in story and in-game, the Zerg were written as a 2nd race, but they outshine the other races so hard to become the master race - or the most powerful playable race - whereas the Protoss or Xel'Naga would in-turn be elevated to become the unplayable race of gods. I would have re-written Starcraft with a TWIST - the Xel'Naga were Protoss the whole time. Who could even utilize Hybrids as weapons. Yep - basically Hybrids would just be Zerg with expanded powers. So there you have it - my version of things - Xel'Naga were really Protoss and the Zerg grew/developed to become Hybrids. So Terran-Zerg-Protoss would by the end of Legacy of the Void be rewritten to realize their destiny, powershifted to be Terran-Hybrid-Xel'Naga. As in, they'd still retain their names Terran-Zerg-Protoss but 2 of the 3 races would "awaken"/"unlock". This approach would have saved all the brainstorming needed to come up with Xel'Naga. There would even be no need for fusing of 2 races to form Hybrids to repeat the cycle. Zerg would simply just "awaken"/"unlock" into Hybrids. Protoss would "awaken"/"unlock" to become Xel'Naga. No new races required. Then the cycle restarts and new Primal Zerg would be seeded, new Aeon of Strife started with a band of outcast Protoss who start from the ground up.
2:33, wtf this is not the lore of st1!? What are u guys telling. The xel'naga created the protoss amd zerg not just one dude. 4:35, no the overmind didnt psyonicly lure these warp space travelling allien. The zerg didint have psyonic capabilities back then. It was by pure luck. Being able to go in space they attacked and assimilated the xel'naga ship present to watch them. The overmind, became somewhat psyonicly adapted, but the real consequence was that he learned how and why they were created. So that's why he went to the Terran's system. To absord psyonic capable terran to adapt to counter/fight equal fight to protoss. Did you guys played/watch starcraft 1? They did not search for protoss, they already know were they were, not there homeworld thought. 8:23, still again untrue, it's litteraly the story campaign of the zerg in starcraft 1, thats why he created kerrigan, to test a new way to infest/evolve . To mach essence and form (source, starcraft 1 game manuel). In the game, the writter make more vague, cause they didint know if they were going with that rout 100% (brood war, was total improvisation I think) and for st2 it did so many retcon, it's not cannon, it's so lazy and bad writting.

i REALLY dont like most everything past wings of liberty. i felt that both they and Kerrigan were wasted in the later parts of sc2 and even in terms of design they went from being disturbing and truly alien in StarCraft one to being very generic in appearance in starcraft2. the whole thing with the primal zerg is dumb too, its way more compelling imo that the nightmarish and almost unstoppable zerg swarm came from the ash worms.
As much as i like starcraft, the xelnagas don’t make any sense. Xelnagas supposedly create universes but can’t destroy a vastly inferior race around the planet in a universe they created? How is amon expecting to win with some random created races that he’s just gonna modify a little against a civilization of xelnagas that are litterally gods and are maybe even reaching a omega type civilization on the kardashev scale Couldn’t they like destroy the universe if they can create one? One universe for such a civilization is nothing. They should’ve just explained that the protoss and the zerg evolved like normal species that through evolution, later expanded to the interstellar space or that zerg were used as a bio weapon by some ancient race that survived and evolved conscience
Xelnaga create life in universes, and they can't enter into physical realm without a host body (very weak compared to their real form). All xelnaga are killed by infighting and Amon was killed by Xelnaga Kerrigan. But Amon lost because heroes need to win.
@@SignificantPressure100 No it does not. Lore stopped making any sense in heart of the swarm dlc for sc2. They threw throught the window everything and lore with it.
Does anyone know where that last zerg queen is located in media??? The last book I read was evolutions and it was still Kerrigan's main queen general that was in charge of the swarm. The darkhorse comics never mention anything about another queen on power following kerrigan's orders. I haven't read the online digital comics like shadow wars or anything like that so not sure where this last queen came from in the video???🤔 help please!
I believe it is in the digital comics. Its the queen you make in SC2 that you do a special mission to infest a Protoss base. But she's running around trying to catch this Terran Ghost as part of the plot, if that helps.
@@TrueMastersandMorons oh ok thank you for that. I'm against digital comics and only collect physical media but eventually I know in going to have to convert. This might be the case... I wonder if they did that intentionally to leave a faction still tied to the old ways and will eventually rise up and bring a familiar problem back. But honestly the zerg in the book evolutions that were being created had psionic distrupting abilities like the hybrid zerg/protoss in the game so I think Zagara would be good going up against any opposition. Not sure if those were all killed off though 🤔 I remember they were being secretly created by abathur to continue evolution through conflict. But even if there were he was spared so the genetic code is still present.
@@TrueMastersandMorons how about Abe, the shrykel (the power he gets with the two tattoos) the creatures (paramites, scarabs, fuzzles) enemies (glukkons, leeches, sligs, dog things (can’t think of the name) welcome machines, vykers)
Great video. Sad to see the original Starcraft lore get so dumbed down and "marketable" in Starcraft 2 wit the lazy Xel'naga Ex Machina and the stupid pretentious relativization of everything. (Legacy of the Void was so lazy there wasn't even a story to speak of). Kerrigan was a more complex and interesting character, the Overmind and the Cerebrates, the three-side war, the different factions bickering whitin said war... Oh Blizzard, I miss the old days...
I'd be more curious about the heels to be honest, the woman is the sort of practical that would genuinely weigh her options when given a choice between getting shot right before going into a mission or having to wear heels for the duration of that mission and yet somehow when she has direct control over the composition of every cell in her body she gives herself in-built anklebreakers. the nonsense "blade wings" actually make some sense: she uses them as a focal array for psionics but they never even hint at a purpose for the heels aside from crippling her and throwing off all of her internal mechanics just like they would on a pair of shoes.
I really like the potential of the Zerg. They’re not evil, they never had a chance to be good. Tassadar understood only in death.

@@starcraft2f2p77 thanks makes sense
@@SignificantPressure100 No it does not. Lore stopped making any sense in heart of the swarm dlc for sc2. They threw throught the window everything and lore with it.
TERRAN LORE?
Does anyone know where that last zerg queen is located in media??? The last book I read was evolutions and it was still Kerrigan's main queen general that was in charge of the swarm. The darkhorse comics never mention anything about another queen on power following kerrigan's orders.
I haven't read the online digital comics like shadow wars or anything like that so not sure where this last queen came from in the video???🤔 help please!
I believe it is in the digital comics. Its the queen you make in SC2 that you do a special mission to infest a Protoss base. But she's running around trying to catch this Terran Ghost as part of the plot, if that helps.
@@TrueMastersandMorons oh ok thank you for that. I'm against digital comics and only collect physical media but eventually I know in going to have to convert. This might be the case...
I wonder if they did that intentionally to leave a faction still tied to the old ways and will eventually rise up and bring a familiar problem back. But honestly the zerg in the book evolutions that were being created had psionic distrupting abilities like the hybrid zerg/protoss in the game so I think Zagara would be good going up against any opposition. Not sure if those were all killed off though 🤔 I remember they were being secretly created by abathur to continue evolution through conflict. But even if there were he was spared so the genetic code is still present.
Only Zagara followed Kerrigan. The hive mind is timeless, just as the Overmind was.
Can you do a lore video on Oddworld?
Anything specific you'd like to see?
@@TrueMastersandMorons how about Abe, the shrykel (the power he gets with the two tattoos) the creatures (paramites, scarabs, fuzzles) enemies (glukkons, leeches, sligs, dog things (can’t think of the name) welcome machines, vykers)
can you please cover the darkness or angelus from image comics along with the 13 artifacts
RADIO FREE ZERG
One of the narrators talks way to fast lol.
Hey you cite me
WHY DID THEY MAKE ZERG GOOD GUYS??? WHY CANT THEY JUST BE WORLD CONSUMING BUGS??
Because old blizzard died when activision took on.
The SC2 story butchered the Xel’Naga and Zerg lore.
Great video. Sad to see the original Starcraft lore get so dumbed down and "marketable" in Starcraft 2 wit the lazy Xel'naga Ex Machina and the stupid pretentious relativization of everything. (Legacy of the Void was so lazy there wasn't even a story to speak of). Kerrigan was a more complex and interesting character, the Overmind and the Cerebrates, the three-side war, the different factions bickering whitin said war... Oh Blizzard, I miss the old days...
The fact you didnt discuss kerrigans booty is criminal
I'd be more curious about the heels to be honest, the woman is the sort of practical that would genuinely weigh her options when given a choice between getting shot right before going into a mission or having to wear heels for the duration of that mission and yet somehow when she has direct control over the composition of every cell in her body she gives herself in-built anklebreakers.
the nonsense "blade wings" actually make some sense: she uses them as a focal array for psionics but they never even hint at a purpose for the heels aside from crippling her and throwing off all of her internal mechanics just like they would on a pair of shoes.
Games workshop ripped these dudes off lol
