Grendel Brood

The Grendel Brood is one of the many Broods of the Zerg Swarm.

One of the less observed Zerg Broods, little is known about this Brood except that it is part of the assault wing, probably as a secondary assault force should the other Broods require further assistance.

History
The Grendel Brood participated in the invasion of Aiur. Its Cerebrate was charged with making up the core of the Overmind's defenses once it was manifested on Aiur, along with the Baelrog Brood.

During the fight to break through the Overmind's defenses, Fenix, Tassadar, and Zeratul attacked the Grendel Brood's main hive cluster, killing its cerebrate and throwing the Brood into chaos. The forces that remained went renegade, continuing to attack the Protoss; as well as each other, even after the Overmind's destruction. It is assumed that if any of the Brood survived it was brought under the control of Daggoth's new Overmind.
