Starcraft II Larva

A Larva From Starcraft II Zerg Race Its Weak It Deals 0 Damage Here Is The Lore
Within a larva's DNA are countless sequences, carrying billions of patterns and nearly infinite possible genetic combinations and they contain within them the genetic code for all other zerg breeds. When a new breed of zerg is needed, an individual larva will enter a pupal state and begin replicating the DNA of one specific zerg breed at an astounding rate. After a short gestation period, the new mature zerg minion hatches. A young hive will only have the genetic code for the most basic of zerg breeds, such as the drone, but as it grows and develops new structures, its library of genetic strains is expanded. With a command from the Overmind, cerebrate, or overlord, the larva will enter a pupal state and begin the metamorphosis into whichever breed is required by the hive. The inner layer of the creature's skin is populated with receptor cells, and once a morph command is issued, the larva's organs are ejected, forming a hard egg-like cocoon, and its tissues are instantly reconfigured into the desired strain through a brief pupation period, the duration of which being dependent on the breed being morphed. Because of the larva's metamorphic abilities, the Dominion stresses that marines be obsessively thorough when carrying out zerg eradication operations. Just one surviving larva can mutate into a drone, which in turn can mutate into a hatchery, and thus give birth to a reborn zerg colony.
