StarCraft Zerg Units
- After the process of morphing a unit is complete (unit constructed) there is a slimy noise indicating that a unit just hatched.

- Zerg units grunt in different ways and noises when selected. A small Zergling makes a clicking sound but a Guardian roars with a low noise. So you always know which unit you just selected. -The Mutalisk makes a screaming sort of noise.

-The Scourge makes a high-pitched screech.

-Overlord makes an angry shouting noise.

- The noise when selecting somewhat sounds like a question, since it is a sound going up, like in normal questions.

- When given an order the unit grunts in a way that sounds like confirmation.

- Only Infested Terrans, Cerebrates, the Advisor, the Overmind and Heroes use human language to converse.
