| - Overlords are flying brainlike creatures that extend a Cerebrate's control over a Zerg hive cluster. They allow the Cerebrate to exert control over his minions, and can also serve as lookouts, flying scouts and dropships for Zerg Warriors. A Cerebrate cannot control an entire hive cluster by itself, as there are other hives that it watches over and guides. Therefore, as a hive's forces grow in number, it will need to spawn more Overlords regularly in order to create more servants. Further adding to their significance, the Overlord can use a special radar-sense organ to detect the life force and energy exhibited from hidden units(like cloaked Ghosts and Wraiths, Dark Templar, units in an Arbiter cloaking field, mines and burrowed Zerg).
