    Um actually, the first god of destruction introduced in Dragon Ball is Beerus in the 2013 movie. The character was designed before Toriyama's involvement and his name was intended to be a pun on "virus", but Toriyama misinterpreted this and assumed it was a "beer" pun, which he then continued with Whis (whiskey). Later gods of destruction followed the alcohol theme in Dragon Ball Super.

    Um actually, the point in the timeline when the StarCraft question takes place is important because the armies of the Protoss were no longer vast when the Dark Templar were added to the ranks of the Protoss because the Zerg invaded and took over the Protoss homeworld of Aiur, driving the Protoss to the equivalent of an endangered species and greatly reducing the size of their armies (in the lore at least).

      I was about to comment that too, I whink it isn't only in the lore but the game, too. Aside from the Zealot they have a lot of bots (which don't require a pilot) and most units are more quality than quantity. - Zerg and Terran have more Units with a quantity style.

      Um actually their “homeworld” would still be Aiur just like the Terrans homeworld would be, uhh, Terra. And while the ‘toss armies are smaller than the Zerg or Terran, they are still one of the three dominant species of the Koprulu sector, so they’re only not vast as compared to the other two. But there are other sentient species (even besides the Xel’naga) and presumably the Protoss armies dwarf them, given their (self-appointed) status as “stewards.”
