===Hatchery / Lair / Hive=== | ===Hatchery / Lair / Hive=== | ||
The Hatchery is the Zerg's primary building. It is where gathered resources are dropped off. Unlike the other teams, the hatchery is where all zerg units are built. The Hatchery also allows evolution to the next 'age', giving new possibilities for buildings/units. The first evolution changes it to a Lair, the 2nd to a "Hive". | The Hatchery is the Zerg's primary building. It is where gathered resources are dropped off.

===Hydralisk Den=== | ===Hydralisk Den=== | ||
The Hydralisk Den as its name suggests allows the production and support of Hydralisks. Dedicated like most zerg buildings to one unit or unit type it allows two upgrades in StarCraft and a third with the Brood Wars expansion. The basic two upgrades that it allows are an increase in speed and an increase in range. Both quite useful as the Hydralisk is Considered by most to be the backbone unit of the Zerg forces. The Expansion upgrade is the Lurker upgrade which allows the Hydralisk to go back into its egg and reemerge as a lurker. | The Hydralisk Den as its name suggests allows the production and support of Hydralisks.
