Once the hive is present, the being commanding it has the potential to unleash the full fury of the zerg.<ref name="SC1Man">Underwood, Peter, Bill Roper, Chris Metzen and Jeffrey Vaughn.

This hive glowed by the perpetual heat it generated, and while it was not so hot that melee attackers would be damaged, the [[drone]]s and larvae within it were able to take advantage of the warmth it provided on the colder planets of the [[Koprulu sector]].<ref name="RemasteredPurchase">2017-08-03, [https://starcraft.com/en-us/articles/20941236 Spotlight: Pre-Purchase Rewards].
