Behemoth
From StarCraft Wiki
Behemoths are "the largest space faring creatures in the chartered galaxy." Immense and docile creatures and bearing resemblance to manta rays, Behemoths travel through space, even between star systems.[1]
[edit] Biography
Behemoths were incorporated into the Zerg gene pool when they passed close to Zerus, lured in by the psychic beacon of the Overmind.[2][1] The Zerg developed resistance to vacuum exposure from them, which gave the Zerg the ability to travel through the vacuum of space.[2] The Zerg exploited this ability to attack the Xel'Naga Worldships and escape from Zerus.[2]
[edit] Function and History
Behemoths are able to carry Overlords and other Zerg breeds in the folds and pockets of their sprawling bodies and act as transports.[1]
Behemoths were used by the Kukulkan Brood to travel from Char to Bhekar Ro.[1]
