Within the zerg swarm, overlords act as local relay nodes for the psionic contol exerted on them by the swarm's ultimate authority. They resemble nothing so much as enormous armour-plated helium ballons. An apt comparison, due to the many helium-filled bladders keeping them aloft. In addition to this, their natural psionic ability allows them to efforlessly levitate and provides the motive force for their flight. Many broods develop adaptations to their carapace, allowing them to expel gasses at high pressure to propel themselves at greater speeds or forming pockets in their carapace that can accommodate otherwise flighless strains for transportation.

===Infested Human Tactics===

Due to the psionic link they forges with zerg in close proximity to it, overlords greatly enhance their combat effectiveness. Their numerous adaptations make overlords a somewhat unpredictable element on the battlefield, sometimes spreading the zerg taint by pouring creep onto the ground, at other times acting as an arial ferry for other zerg strains. Rumors persist of derivative strains with augmented psionic powers, able to disorient and confuse enemies of the swarm.

The overlord uses its high vantage point to spot enemies from relative safety and relays their positions to zerg in the area. Zerg very near the overlord even share snatches of thier vision with each other across the psionic link, making flanking attacks all but ineffective, unless they are outnumbered. In addition, overlord creepers aid their allies in a more tangible fashion: infesting the area with an organic carpet of creep, which undulates and flows in coordination with the movements of the zerg, propeling them with great speed across its surface. The creep spreads quickly while the overlord maintains it, but receeds with as much speed, being unable to nourish and maintain itself.
