"inmortality"

[drakolobo]

how reborn a cerebrate?
is a biology process ?

[Pandonetho]

The Overmind recreates them every time they die, since they're basically just giant worms of flesh and organs and whatever, and the Overmind is pretty much the king of that stuff. That's why after the Overmind died the Cerebrates soon followed.

[Visions of Khas]

The Cerebrates each represented a different facet of the Overmind. Since the Overmind itself was immortal, it was able to retain the essence of any killed Cerebrates and place it in a new body. However, the Dark Templar were somehow able to identify and annihilate them, doing damage directly to the Overmind.

But the campaign is described as reborn, front fenix eyes, how you do it?,
1 .- is a process of super regeneration, lar antimatter weapons do not do this convincingly
2 .- sircundante used to reconstruct the organic matter, the protos would take precautions, like removing everything within a radius
3 .- Supermind or is able to manipulate matter to create organic matter and rebuild their valuable cerebrate, I have a memory of a narrative qe said that the ground seemed alive

or what the novels say this?

Overmind holds their... spirit when the body is destroyed, then recreates ther body and places spirit back.
DT's used their dark energies, which are natural to zerg and through which all zerg are manipulated, to permanently destroy the spirit of Cerebrate.

The overmind holds the spirit of the cerebrate when it is released from the cerebrates body.
When the overmind died, the cerebrates had the power to come together to create a new overmind.

I think he's talking about the actual process of reincarnating the physical cerebrate. He's right: if you keep nuking something to kingdom come, chances are there won't be enough organic matter to compose an entire living being. But the same could be said for the empowered zerg structures during the UED's invasion of Char.

From Fenix's expedition, it seems to take less than two hours for a cerebrate to be reborn.

Perhaps raw psionic energy is converted to matter and arranged into organic compounds, a reversal of how archons are made (matter => energy)?...

[Norfindel]

The Overmind holds the minds of all the original Zerg, and has some kind of psi-link with the Cerebrates, and all Zerg, really. If one Cerebrate dies, i bet it only needs to mutate a larva into a Cerebrate, and that's all.

[drakolobo]

would mean that one cerebrate can be expelled from a planet removed all the Zerg

The overmind holds the spirit of the cerebrate when it is released from the cerebrates body.
When the overmind died, the cerebrates had the power to come together to create a new overmind.

I don't think there is really such a thing as a "spirit" in the SC universe...
