===Infestor LoreQueen Tactics===A character knows As one of the following information with a successful Nature check.:'''DC 15:''' Infestors are grotesquemore intelligent zerg strains, burrowing monstrosities that infest queens often direct their victims, making them slaves allies when encountered in the field. They prefer to stay behind the swarm. Infestors rely heavily on front lines, using their minions, as they are vulnerable reach and ranged attacks to attack in close quartersstrike at enemies from a safe distance.:'''DC 20:''' Slaying an infestor's minions is no guarantee of peace, since it always seems They tend to have more tucked away the wounded in its massive body. The infestor is combat, able to bestow its putrid corruption upon its surroundings, making the very earth poisonousrestore them to peak fighting condition almost instantly.:'''DC 25:''' Using The cunning of a specialized tentacle on its backqueen should never be underestimated, as they are the infestor can overwhelm a living creature's mind, bringing it under the infestor's sway. A terrible fate awaits any who aren't granted masterminds behind the mercy evolution of a bloody, violent death at the hands of its infested minions... instead being slowly transformed into another of it's servantsSwarm.

==Encounter Groups=Roach Lore===Infestors Roaches are encountered a squat, six-legged zerg strain. Their thick armored hide allows them to take a great deal of punishmend. One of their most unique qualities is the startling speed with other which thier wounds regenerate. While zerg in general heal quickly, one can watch as muscle, sinew, and always accompanied by an entourage even a roach's armored shell mends itself. The process works even more swiftly when they burrow, gaining but a momentary reprieve to focus on healing. In addition to this, roaches are able to spit their acidic saliva over short distances, showering enemies in corrosive goo that can work its way through even enchanted steel. They are far from helpless in close quarters, sporting a pair of infestedvicious claws on their carapace which they use to devestating effect on any seeking to bypass them.
===Level <!--EL--> Encounter (XP <!--XP value-->)Roach Tactics===* <!--First creature-->* <!--Second creature--><!--Repeat as necessary-->Roaches are found at the front line of any engagement. They rely on their remarkably resilience and regeneration to keep them in the fight, often placing themselve in dangerous positions to limit the mobility of thier enemies. They aren't the swiftest strain in the Swarm, at least in younger hive clusters, but oftentimes they evolve a more reactive nervous system, allowing them to think and move more quickly. Eventually, they can even gain tunneling claws, allowing them to move swiftly underground. This makes them an ideal escort for infestors, allowing both to appear seemingly out of nowhere.

They begin hearing This psionic sensetivity is what makes the whispers Swarm function, however, it has the consequence of the zerg hive mind, making it difficult them weak to work at cross-purposes attacks against their Will defense. The counterbalance to this weakness is that the Swarm jealously guards its willown. They become ill as their bodies begin to mutateThe zerg hivemind is a psionic entity of overwhelming power, lacking being largely responsible for the direction infestation of an infestor thoughnew species. Before a species of interest can be added to the Swarm, it can only go so farmust be broken - subjugated to the will of the hivemind.

Their bonds of friendship reinforcing its hold over its subjects and loyalty are not yet completely purged -- though they may be shunned, due to their obvious infestation -- however, they will let nothing stand in the way of fortifying their newfound alegiance to the swarmminds against outside influence.
''These powers are just conceptual at the moment, but I plan to do something with them eventually.''
<br />'''Conduit of the Hivemind''': A zerg ally of the overlord's level or lower within [range] makes a saving throw against a dazing, stunning, or dominating effect.
<br />'''Swarm Consciousness''': Aura 10 - Each allied zerg within the aura gains a +2 bonus to its Will defense. If at least one allied zerg within the aura is aware of an enemy, they all are. (This defense bonus does not stack and will be already reflected in the overlord's statblock.)

===Broodling Tactics===
Broodlings only live a few rounds, regardless of whether or not they take damage. They are very direct creatures - lacking the guile and patience for subtlety - and attack whatever is nearest at hand until either it or they are dead.
