Brood

A Zerg Brood (or Brood) is a formation of the Zerg race in the StarCraft universe &mdash; a fictional universe in which the StarCraft series of computer games and books are set.

Broods act under the authority of a Zerg Cerebrate, and each one of them has a particular function and characteristics best suited for its duties. Though little is known of the Broods, and their Cerebrates, Terran explorers have managed to learn about them and named each one after beasts of Earth's mythology.
