The creep tumor is a structure which extends the creep. It resembles an eyeball protruding from the creep.

Game Structure

Creep tumors are created by queens or by other creep tumors and must be built on creep.

The creep tumor is burrowed, rendering it stealthy. The stealth enables "offensive" creeping.

Abilities

Create Creep Tumor

The queen forces a creep tumor out of her bowels.
Alternatively, each creep tumor may create a single additional creep tumor, using the same build time but no energy cost. This changes the tumor's appearance.

Creep tumors can only be created upon the creep, and within a range.

Usage
Hotkey C Cost 25 11 seconds Cooldown 13.57 seconds (can only be used once by a creep tumor)

Development

The following section contains information from a previous version of StarCraft II which is no longer valid.

In older versions of StarCraft II the creep tumor could evolve into a shrieker. Shriekers extended the range of swarm clutches to anywhere within its own detection radius, and through careful positioning could effectively double their attack range in some cases.

Creep tumors used to be produced from hatcheries within a given range of the producing building.
