Queen Tactics
As one of the more intelligent zerg strains, queens often direct their allies when encountered in the field. They prefer to stay behind the front lines, using their reach and ranged attacks to strike at enemies from a safe distance. They tend to the wounded in combat, able to restore them to peak fighting condition almost instantly. The cunning of a queen should never be underestimated, as they are the masterminds behind the evolution of the Swarm.

Roach Tactics
Roaches are found at the front line of any engagement. They are remarkably resilient, much like their namesake, able to swiftly regenerate any wounds they take. The healing process works much quicker when they are burrowed, whether moving underground or simply hiding. They aren't the swiftest strain in the Swarm, at least in younger hive clusters, but oftentimes they evolve a more reactive nervous system, allowing them to think and move more quickly. Eventually, they can even gain tunneling claws, allowing them to burrow swiftly underground. This makes them an ideal escort for infestors, allowing both to appear seemingly out of nowhere.

| AC ?; Fortitude ?, Reflex ?, Will ? | ||
| Speed 8 | ||
| Traits | ||
| Degeneration | ||
| The broodling loses 1 hit point at the beginning of its turn. | ||
 Frenzied Swarm ♦ Recharge Aura 1
| ||
| Any enemy that begins its turn within this aura takes damage equal to the number of broodlings adjacent to it. (This effect does not stack.) | ||
| Standard Actions | ||
| Claws ♦ At-Will
| ||
| Attack: Melee 1 (one creature); +? vs. AC Hit: [low] damage. | ||
| Skills None | ||

Broodling Tactics
Broodlings only live a few rounds, regardless of whether or not they take damage. They are very direct creatures - lacking the guile and patience for subtlety - and attack whatever is nearest at hand until either it or they are dead.
