The Gargantis proximae are or were semi-intelligent space-faring organisms whose homeworld is still not known. Unlike most other species which were forcibly inducted into the Zerg Swarm, the Gargantis proximae - which were facing starvation at the time of their assimilation - willingly gave themselves to the Swarm in order to avoid extinction. This assimilation process was exceptionally successful, and the Gargantis proximae soon became known as the Overlords, one of the highest-tiered Zerg strains in existence.

- Gargantis proximae were telepathic, semi-intelligent, space faring creatures. They had multiple homeworlds. The first zerg overlords were created centuries before the Great War from assimilated Gargantis. The herbivorous Gargantis were facing starvation; they psionically summoned the Swarm and willingly accepted assimilation to survive. The Swarm uses overlords as sensors and control nexii. Gargantis possessed a thick carapace, which changed little through assimilation, and elongated appendages that hung from their underbellies.

- Gargantis proximae were telepathic, semi-intelligent, space faring creatures. They had multiple homeworlds. The first zerg overlords were created centuries before the Great War from assimilated Gargantis. The herbivorous Gargantis were facing starvation; they psionically summoned the Swarm and willingly accepted assimilation to survive. The Swarm uses overlords as sensors and control nexii. Gargantis possessed a thick carapace, which changed little through assimilation, and elongated appendages that hung from their underbellies. Genetically, overlords are almost identical to the Gargantis—to date, they are the only known core strain to pass through assimilation so unblemished. Dr. Talen Ayers proposed two theories as to why this was—one, the Gargantis had the properties the zerg desired, and as such, little modification of their genetic code was required. Two, the zerg are unwilling to meddle too deeply with the structural makeup of species that possess great psionic ability, knowing that even the slightest of changes can destroy this ability. He counted on the latter.
