The parasite is a zerg breed produced by the queen.

On the battlefield, one of the queen's primary functions was to implant parasites in its enemies. Able to be launched from a distance, a tiny, remora-like parasite attached itself to the target, "bonding" with it should the target be organic. The parasite allowed higher zerg strains to see whatever the target sees and at the time of its use in the Koprulu Sector, could not be removed without killing its host.^[1]

With the arrival of the United Earth Directorate in the Koprulu Sector however and the introduction of nano-conveyed anesthetic and attenuated laser technology they brought with them, the parasites could be safely removed if detected by medics using the Restoration ability.^[2]

Last Call ParasiteEdit

During the Fall of Tarsonis, terran entertainer Starry Lace encountered a queen, which infected her with a seemingly special parasite. This parasite provided a link for the zerg to "talk" to the host and influenced her actions. She would be punished with nightmares if she refused its suggestions.

This parasite could not be detected by terran technology.^[3]
