Infested marines appeared in StarCraft: Ghost. In singleplayer, they appeared as enemies for Nova, attacking with gauss rifles.[1]
In multiplayer, infested marines were available as player units. They regenerated health and could explode, but their main weapons were claws and an "infested" gauss rifle which fired poisonous rounds of ammunition[2] which dealt damage over time.[3]
The infested marine cost two points in the Invasion game mode.[4]
StarCraft II[edit | edit source]
Unit profile
Infested marines are units nearly identical to the infested terran. They may be spawned by infested colonist huts at a time cost of 2.[5] They are distinguished as infested marines in-game to distinguish them from their unarmed infested colonist counterparts.[6]
Their portrait is a reward.[7]
The animation for when the unit's timed life ends is the marine blowing its own head off.
