The swarm host is a zerg strain in StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm.
The swarm host can burrow without the upgrade.[1] Classified as a siege unit,[2] it endlessly spawns waves of locusts[3] while burrowed:[4] each wave consists of two locusts, and these are produced every 17-24 seconds.[1] This allows the zerg to better besiege entrenched enemy positions.[2] These locusts hatch from eggs.[5]
Swarm hosts cannot attack directly.[6]

The swarm host[7] was expected to be available in the campaign and map editor of StarCraft II.[8] As the swarm host is now, it could have been an aerial unit, but it eventually became a ground one.[5]
