An Infested Terran is a breed of Zerg in the fictional StarCraft universe. It is a hybrid of Terran and Zerg created when the Zerg infest a Terran.

Effects of Infestation

An Infested Terran usually loses most of its intelligence and sanity, as its mind becomes consumed by the Zerg. Most become faster, tougher, and develop the ability to burrow, as well as other typical Zerg traits (the ability to quickly heal wounds, psionic sensitivity, and so forth). In addition, most Infested Terrans can explode, sacrificing themselves in a splash of toxic fluid. The explosion is incredibly powerful, capable of destroying small paristeel structures on its own.

Purpose of Infestation

The Zerg believed they needed the use of psionic powers to defeat the Protoss. The Terrans were the only species they discovered with psionics powerful enough to help them achieve victory. However, most Terrans aren't psychic, and even those that are not necessarily genetically compatible (meaning they would lose their intelligence and psionic powers).

Most Infested Terrans have no psionic powers, and are simply used as suicide soldiers.

The Zerg were successful in acquiring Sarah Kerrigan, a Terran Ghost who had been a member of the Sons of Korhal. The Zerg Overmind left her with the majority of her spirit, and she retained her intelligence and even some of her humanity.

At some later point in time, Infested Kerrigan developed an interest in recreating the experiment which created her. While she did not believe she could perfectly duplicate the results of her own change, but still she sought another psychic Infested Terran such as herself.

Her experiments were usually a failure, however, resulting in defects in intelligence and even mobility. She and a Cerebrate believe the problem is a genetic compatibility issue, and the rare psychic Terrans who are compatible could result in another creature such as herself.
