The roach warren is a zerg structure in StarCraft II. It allows roaches and ravagers to be spawned. It is designed to simulate the humid, mountainous depths needed to create roaches and ravagers.

Roach warrens enhanced by the Cerberus Program were outfitted with self-replicating blueprints for remote control equipment to be applied during stages of larval development.

Game Structure

Researched Upgrades

Glial Reconstitution

Increases Roach movement speed to 4.2 while unburrowed, and to 4.4 while burrowed under creep.

Tunneling Claws

The roach can move while burrowed. It moves faster when burrowed beneath the creep. Glial Reconstitution has no impact on burrowing speed.

While it can be researched earlier, Tunneling Claws cannot be used until burrowing has been evolved.
