Infested terran (StarCraft II)

"Infested marines? Oh hell Jimmy, I don't care for that notion one bit."

- Tychus Findlay

The infested terran is a unit in StarCraft II created by an infestor.

An infestor uses 25 energy to deploy an infested swarm egg a short distance away; the infested terran hatches shortly afterwards. An infestor may deploy as many infested terrans as energy allows.

Once hatched, the infested terran has a relatively short lifespan, though it is slightly superior to its counterpart in both health and attack power.

Game Unit
In the campaign of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, infested terrans are referred to as "infested marines", distinguished from their unarmed infested colonist counterparts.
