Primarily, these are used as humiliation tactics in TvZ. Although it is normally impossible for Infested Terrans to make an appearance in the PvZ match-up, Holy World makes this possible by introducing a neutral Command Center. Infested Terrans are far more effective in PvZ, due to the Protoss 's lack of units that can take down Infested Terrans before they reach their target.
The Infested Terran can be used in conjunction with Overlords , protecting the Infested Terran and dropping them inside Protoss bases and Probe lines. They can destroy a Photon Cannon with a single explosive hit, as well as any ground unit in a single explosion, and are most effective when detonated when targeted at a large cluster of units.

There, the plague spread very quickly, and powerful aberrations particularly large, bloated infested terrans emerged, but the infested colonists fell prey to the high UV of Meinhoff's star during the day. Raynor's Raiders eventually defeated the plague. Agrian refugees left Meinhoff as carriers. The outbreak was contained by quickly isolating the infected colonists.
The outbreak swept through the Haven colony and was spread by virophages. Raynor's Raiders stopped outbreak by purging the infected colony bases.
Raynor went in there and discovered that she had been infested. Hanson was still self-aware, even asking for death after being defeated. Later, infested terran Alexei Stukov took command of her infested forces. Kaloth , a zerg cerebrate who survived Kerrigan's purge of the cerebrates, conducted its own experiment of infesting humans as leaders. Stukov was able to interact with remnants of the old Terran Confederacy , who were engaging in high-tech research, including experimentation on infested terrans such as Morik.
Stukov was put in charge of a weak brood on Braxis , [35] a world he was already familiar with. Stukov was captured by a protoss and terran task force, led by Jim Raynor and Taldarin , who subjected him to an experiment of their own; they used protoss-devised anti-zerg nanites to reverse the infestation process, resulting in a living and presumably fully human Alexei Stukov.
The Terran Confederacy stored ardeon crystals tainted with zerg spores deep within the Jacobs Installation. Years later, a deserting soldier tried to steal the crystals, and discovered to his dismay that mere contact with a tainted crystal would quickly transform a terran into an infested terran. He was trapped within the facility. Remnant members of the Terran Confederacy worked at a secret facility on a means of "restoring faculties in Infested Terrans" and created Morik , a terran they performed horrible experiments on.
They also studied a method of reanimating the dead using zerg infestation techniques. Significantly, one reanimated human, Infested Stukov , appeared in their facility. Along with studying the possibility of offspring from infested humans, a few files on such experiments were found;.
The data was sold to the black market by the Kimeran Pirates. Most of the above experiments, including the possibility of offspring, had little to no chance of success.
Offspring of such unions, if they could even be created, would be dangerous captives and "irredeemably unbiddable. The following article or section contains lore from the StarCraft RPG , which is not regarded as canon. Elements may be regarded as 'flavor lore' however.
A terran force captured a small zerg brood during the Brood War and forged mutates to be used against the zerg. These mutates were taken into the service of the Alliance.
The protoss are more interested in destroying infested terrans or reversing the process which created them than using them. To this end, the protoss developed a " radical nanotech serum " which could be used on infested terrans such as Infested Stukov. The serum was successfully administered to Stukov, who was freed from his infestation. A five-part xel'naga device had the potential of reversing the infestation of Sarah Kerrigan.
Meanwhile, the xel'naga Samir Duran utilized the Moebius Foundation and Terran Dominion resources to research zerg infestation, particularly that of Alexei Stukov, whose anti-zerg nanite cure slowly failed as he reverted to an infested state.
He experimented and tortured him for the sake of advancing the Hybrid Breeding Program. The results made him much more powerful than any individual zerg bioform barring Sarah Kerrigan.
Infested terrans appear as suicide bombers in StarCraft. They are spawned from Infested command centers. The Infested terrans can deal severe damage to enemies and their speed makes them perfect in terms of destroying armies.
An infested terran in StarCraft: Ghost. Infested terrans appear as enemies in some StarCraft: Ghost preview videos. They explode much like their StarCraft counterparts. Infested marines were also available as a playable character class. Concept art depicted infested scientists and infested SCV pilots as well. Infested terrans have appeared in StarCraft II as units produced by the infestor. The original suicide bomber concept was replaced in gameplay by the baneling.
In the singleplayer, infested terrans were effectively divided between infested colonists and infested marines. Unlike their multiplayer counterparts, neither had timed lives and attacked through close and long ranges respectively. Multiple infested terrans types appear in later campaigns, such as volatile infested , infested siege tanks , and infested banshees. In Co-op Missions , Alexei Stukov is able to field an army of infested terrans. Some experienced feelings of euphoria while infested, [25] and in one case Stukov felt depressed after being removed from the zerg hivemind.
