A spore colony
The spore colony is a zerg means of anti-aerial defense. Able to fling seeker spores (a corrosive variation of creep) high into the atmosphere, spore colonies can quickly ravage any incoming enemy air force. In addition to its anti-air capabilities, the spore colony also serves as a stationary detector against any enemy cloaked or burrowed units thanks to a special sensory organ similar to that possessed by overlords.[1]
Due to their failure at protecting the Overmind at the apex of the Fall of Aiur, spore colonies were evolved into spore crawlers in order create a more flexible air defense.[2]
Game Structure
StarCraft
Combined with the sunken colony (required for defense against ground units), the spore colony can be a very strong deterrent against any aerial invasion. However, because it cannot move, it is vulnerable to long-range attacks (such as those of guardians).

Spore colonies appeared in at least one mission in StarCraft: Ghost, alongside sunken colonies. Nova was tasked with painting them for siege tanks.[4]
StarCraft II
A fully complete spore colony, complete with attacks, animations and stats exists in the Galaxy Map Editor. It uses a shrunk model of the spore cannon. It has yet to appear in-game.[5]
Abilities
This unit or structure can detect cloaked, burrowed, duplicated and hallucination enemies.

StarCraft II spore colony
The spore colony had reappeared in StarCraft II as a mobile queen-produced defensive structure. In its mobile form, it had fewer hit points.[6]
The spore colony could move on crab-like legs[7] outside of the boundaries of creep, but like other zerg structures would slowly degenerate and eventually die if it remained outside of the boundaries for too long.[8] Spore colonies could not be planted outside of the creep.[9]
The spore colony has since been replaced by the spore crawler.[10]
