Kaloth

Kaloth is a Zerg Cerebrate of unknown affiliation. Like most Zerg Cerebrates, Kaloth's age is unknown.

In Deceptions, former United Earth Directorate Vice Admiral Stukov was observed by the Kimeran Pirates in a Terran Confederacy science facility. He was obviously infested. The Terrans there were studying Zerg reanimation through infestation, and appeared to be working for Stukov.

Kaloth is introduced in Resurrection IV by Artanis. Kaloth's cells regenerated those of the slain Vice Admiral Stukov, infesting him in the process. Artanis said that Stukov now lorded over his own secret Zerg Brood on Braxis. Artanis's scientists had developed a nanotech serum which could reverse the process, and he employed Jim Raynor, Praetor Taldarin and a small escort of Protoss and Terrans to travel to Braxis to free Stukov from the Zerg.

The Zerg on Braxis were weak, as Stukov had only recently come into power over them. They infested a large part of Braxis despite this weakness. Furthermore, Stukov had gathered a large number of mercenaries to work for him, although they were not completely reliable. Many believed Stukov was insane.

Raynor and Taldarin fought their way to Stukov's hideout. While there, Stukov screamed out: "Now you will taste the vengeance of the New Swarm. Destroy them!"

Stukov had access to Torrasques, which attacked Raynor and Taldarin. However, the two were able to free Stukov from the Zerg with the nanotech serum and fled Braxis with him. The Protoss then sterilized the world.
