Overlord

Description: The semi-intelligent, space-faring behemoths known as the Gargantis Proximae were inducted into the Swarm so that their hieghtened senses could benefit Zerg warriors in battle. The Gargantis flyers were assimilated into the swarm so well that the Cerebrates use them to maintain control over their forces. Overlords keep the warriors of the Swarm ordered and coordinated during battle, and with their enhanced senses they often serve as advanced scouts. They have the innate ability to sense any hidden enemy units, including those under the effects of cloaking systems or distortion fields.

In addition to commanding troops against their enemies, the Overlords also have the reponsibility of transporting Zerg warriors within the hollows of their reinforced carapace hides. Only larger Zerg nests seem to have this particular breed of Overlord, but it is generally a good idea to kill these creatures on site for safty's sake.
