    Default How zerg virus works

    We seen in Starcraft 1 and 2 that there exists Zerg virus which infects Terran.My question is how Virus spreads,how people get infected by virus?

    Same as any other virus I'd imagine.

    In SC1 it infested the topsoil of Chau Sara. So I guess at that point everyone was already infected and the Overmind could have initiated a worldwide plague at a command.

    Well it'd probably have to be by contact, since the virus is contained within the creep.

    Magic, duh!

    Just kidding, I defer all serious lore questions to Gradius and his ilk.



    Rest In Peace, Old Friend.

    I'm actually curious if there's special strains of the virus in how Kaloth managed to revive Stukov. Aside from him, there haven't been many examples of the virus being able to reanimate the dead like Resident Evil's T-virus.

    Aaand sold.


    Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
    The Forger's wake is bereft and fallow

    Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
    Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?

    The road's goal is the Origin of Being
    But be wary through what thickets it winds.
