==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|Lair]], [[#Extractor|Extractor]], [[#Evolution chamber|Evolution chamber]], [[#Creep colony|Creep colony]] and [[#Spawning pool|Spawning pool]].

==Extractor==
==Extractor==
The extractor allows [[StarCraft/Zerg units#Drone|drones]] to collect Vespene Gas, which is needed to build almost every unit. Like its counterparts, the [[StarCraft/Terran buildings#Refinery|Terran Refinery]] and the [[StarCraft/Protoss buildings#Assimilator|Protoss Assimilator]], only one drone can be inside it at any given time. The extractor require a [[#Hatchery|hatchery]] to be built.

One of the more important Zerg structures, the spire allows production of basic air units at the [[#Hatchery|hatchery]]. Also, air unit weapons and armor can be upgraded here.

This is basically a tunnel that transports units instantly across the map. Once an entrance is built, an exit node must be placed (at no additional cost) on either friendly or enemy creep for the canal to start working. It require a [[#Hive|hive]] to be built.
