The zerg evolution chamber is the result of the Overmind's view that complacency is the road to defeat, causing it to spur zerg evolution constantly. The evolution chamber provides a testing ground for the genetic code of lesser breeds, helping to increase the offensive and defensive capabilities of the zerg ground-based breeds. It is also required in order for a creep colony to mutate into a spore colony.^[1]
