The idea behind its current design was to give zerg players their own siege unit, but make sure it functioned in a different manner to the siege tank or colossus. During Heart of the Swarm, the design was revisited, but it was initially of a flying unit much like a overlord with the ability to land, burrow, and produce "swarmings." This was scaled back to a ground based unit. The swarm host was expected to be available in the campaign and map editor of StarCraft II. Infestor development image, dubbed "swarm host" Main article: Infestor/Development The following section contains information from a previous version of StarCraft II which is no longer valid. They were destroyed by Tal'darim Highlord Alarak and Nerazim Matriarch Vorazun on Aiur. ĭuring the End War, a number of swarm hosts came under Amon's control, and were inducted into his brood. Swarm hosts enslaved by the Cerberus Program were enhanced with microfactories that allowed them to control locusts spawned from them with remote controlled head gear. Īs primal zerg fought alongside the Zerg Swarm, many swarm hosts strains began to merge with their primal host progenitors, creating strains with many similar traits between the two. Reports within the Terran Dominion have suggested that swarm hosts have developed the ability to spawn locusts without being burrowed. The essences of the primal host were later adapted in to create the swarm host. Swarm host strains were incorporated into Kerrigan's Swarm soon afterwards by Abathur, adapted through primal essence. Projenitors of the swarm hosts, named primal hosts, were first encountered by the Swarm utilized by the primal zerg on Zerus, used against Kerrigan's forces by the pack leader Brakk, although one large, powerful primal host, Slivan, was a pack leader herself. The swarm hosts of the Leviathan Brood are uniquely specialized for amphibious assault and bear many genetic advantages that allow them to quickly move through the oceans and assail their prey. The swarm host lacks mobility however, which leaves it vulnerable to quicker enemies with area damage like the hellion. Bearing a resemblance to siege tank hydraulics, this specialized skeletal system allows the swarm host to maintain position and balance when spewing locusts or when under heavy fire.
Flexible osseous structures of varying thickness slide and lock into position when the swarm host prepares to strike. Now, when the swarm host digs, the capillaries break and the creature's acid blood softens the soil, allowing it to go underground in seconds. To correct this, a set of fragile (albeit regenerating) capillaries was put into place. Despite that, the creature couldn't burrow fast enough to adapt to shifting battlefield conditions. Its legs boast powerful muscles that allow them to vibrate at hypersonic speeds, not unlike the teeth of the nydus worm.
The swarm host is often used in defensive maneuvers. When the creature is threatened or engaged in combat, a subtle chemical reaction signals the larva to head for the incubator, where they are evolved into living weapons. The larvae also feed on damaged tissue, sealing wounds, and destroying anything foreign that enters their domain.

Through a simple system of membranes for matter exchange, glands that pump the offspring full of hormones to hyper-accelerate growth, and ducts for efficient transportation to the bubbling pockets on the surface of the incubator, the swarm host births deadly, short-lived locusts to destroy threats to the Swarm. The large, mushroom-shaped structure on the swarm host's back is a breeding ground that weaponizes the millions of diminute larvae inhabiting the creature's acidic bloodstream. A single swarm host is capable of overwhelming an entire army.
Generated by the infestation pit, the swarm host burrows into the ground in order to provide a seemingly endless supply of locusts.
