The zerg ultralisk cavern is a shelled structure in which there are numerous high-radiation deposits and other dangerous substances. It is in this extremely hostile environment that the ultralisk gains its toughness. In addition, it provides all of the genetic coding for the larva to morph into the breed itself.^[1]
