Hatchery
The Hatchery is the Zerg's primary building, it produces creep on which other Zerg structures can be built as well as larvae. Larvae can be morphed into other units. Up to three larvae will spawn near the Hatchery. The Hatchery is required to build Lair, Extractor, Evolution chamber, Creep colony and Spawning pool.
- Statistics
- Cost: 300/0
- Hit points: 1250
- Armor type: Heavy
- Armor: 1
- Hotkey: H
Lair
The lair is the evolution of the hatchery. It requires a hatchery and a spawning pool to be built; and is required to build a hive, a spire and queen's nest.
- Statistics
- Cost: 150/100
- Hit points: 1800
- Armor type: Heavy
- Armor: 1
- Available upgrades
- Burrow
- Ventral sacs
- Pneumatized carapace
- Antennae
Hive
The hive is the evolution of the lair. It requires a lair and Queen's nest to be built; and is required to build a nydus canal, defiler's mound and ultralisk cavern as well as morphing a spire into a greater spire.
- Statistics
- Cost: 200/150
- Hit points: 2500
- Armor type: Heavy
- Armor: 1
- Available upgrades
- see Lair's upgrades
Extractor
The extractor allows drones to collect Vespene Gas, which is needed to build almost every unit. Like its counterparts, the Terran Refinery and the Protoss Assimilator, only one drone can be inside it at any given time. The extractor requires a hatchery to be built.
- Statistics
- Cost: 50/0
- Hit points: 750
- Armor type: Heavy
- Armor: 1
- Hotkey: E
Spawning pool
The spawning pool is required to create zerglings. The spawning pool requires a hatchery, and is required to build an hydralisk den; as well as to mutate a hatchery into a lair and a creep colony into a sunken colony or a spore colony.
- Statistics
- Cost: 200/0 (was 150/0 before version 1.08)
- Hit points: 750
- Armor type: Heavy
- Armor: 1
- Hotkey: S
- Available Upgrades
- Metabolic boost
- Adrenal glands
Hydralisk den
The hydralisk den, as its name suggests, allows the production and support of hydralisks. It requires a hatchery and a spawning pool to be built.
- Statistics
- Cost: 100/50
- Hit points: 850
- Armor type: Heavy
- Armor: 1
- Hotkey: D
- Available upgrades
- Muscular augments
- Grooved spines
- Lurker aspect
Evolution chamber
The Zerg ground units upgrades can be found here. The second levels of each upgrade can only be achieved with a lair, and the third levels can only be researched with a hive.
- Statistics
- Cost: 75/0
- Hit points: 750
- Armor type: Heavy
- Armor: 1
- Hotkey: V
- Available upgrades
- Melee attacks
- Missile attacks
- Carapace
Creep colony
This building extends the creep as to give more room for buildings. The creep colony can be mutated into a sunken colony or a spore colony for defense purposes. It requires an hatchery to built.
- Statistics
- Cost: 75/0
- Hit points: 400
- Armor type: Heavy
- Armor: 1
- Hotkey: C
Sunken colony
Mutated from a creep colony. It is the strongest ground defense of any race, dealing 40 explosive damage to any nearby enemy ground units. It requires a creep colony and a spawning pool to be built.
- Statistics
- Cost: 50/0
- Hit points: 300
- Armor type: Heavy
- Armor: 2
- Damage type: Explosive
- Damage: 40
- Hotkey: U
Spore colony
Mutated from a creep colony. It is the sturdiest air defense of any species, with 400 hit points. Its damage of 15, however, makes this building not as effective at its job as the sunken colony. It requires a creep colony and an evolution chamber to be built. The spore colony is a detector.
- Statistics
- Cost: 50/0
- Hit points: 400
- Armor type: Heavy
- Armor: 1

- Ensnare
- Spawn broodling
- Gamete meiosis
Spire
One of the more important Zerg structures, the spire allows production of basic air units at the hatchery. Also, air unit weapons and armor can be upgraded here. It requires a lair to be built. This structure can be morphed into a #Greater spire when Hive is available.
- Statistics
- Cost: 200/150
- Hit points: 600
