Raptor strains
Results:
 * Leaps over obstacles and onto target from range
 * Gain +2 damage, an increase of 40%
 * Can jump up and down cliffs

''Assimilation of karak essence. many benefits'' Can enhanced quadriceps of zergling, mutate ''wing function. Would allow to zergling vault'' through air, climbs up and down cliffs, leaps at foes from distance.

''Minor side effect, amplified aggression. Likely to'' ''improve damage output. Acceptable.''

Swarmling strains
Results:
 * Spawns in group of three
 * Morph almost instantly

Examination of feral sequences, completed Random variations of Zz'gash dune-runner core ''reduced complexity. Gestation period almost'' ''nonexistent. Simple sequences all production'' ''of three swarmgling on single cocoon. Dorsal'' protrusion of dune-runner has resurfaced. ''Prominent. Will examine further.''

Before Mission

Decentranized nervous system of splitter strain increases efficiency at siege warfare. Upon detonation, two baneling spawn splits ''from remains, continue pressing assault. Split'' ''only occurs once. Further splits invariably'' result in acidic fluids of limited sentence.

Hunter strains
Results:
 * Leaps over obstacles and onto targets to from long range
 * Can jump up and down from cliffs

''Hunter strain, strategics asset. Extreme'' ''conditions used to guide evolution. Hunter'' strain can propel itself to cliffs, attack foes ''caught unawares. Able to leap over Swarm'' ''troops, bombard enemies. Banelings no'' longer trapped behind hungry zerglings.

After Mission

 * Abathur: Sequences ready for integration. Await decision.

Corpser strains
Results:
 * Enemies damaged by the Roach will spawn two roachlings if killed quickly.

''Recovered scantipede essence. Scantipede'' ''itself unremarkable. Parasite within more'' ''interesting. Sequences allow roach to inject'' ''microscopic parasites. Acidic saliva melts away'' ''flesh. Allows parasites to burrow within host and'' ''gestate. Upon death, roachlings break free.'' ''Emerge from any available orifice. Extremely'' efficient.

Vile strains
Results:
 * Attacks slows enemies movement and attack speeds by 75%
 * Heroes unit movement and attack speeds are slowed by 20%

''Toxic ingestion, successful. Adaption has'' ''produced powerful roach variant. Chemical'' byproducts of microbes altered compounds of ''acidic saliva. Constructive agents will coat'' ''target as roach attacks. As newer layers'' apply, previous layers harden and tighten. ''Movement becomes difficult. Attacks less'' ''frequent. Debilitates enemies.''
