Those who fall into the clutches of the zerg swarm are horribly corrupted and mutated according to the whims of their new masters. Most emerge from their morphing chrysalis looking more alien than anything else, but a few are left with little external indication of their new alegiance -- perfect for use as agents to infiltrate their original society and bring it down from within.
+
The ultralisk is the ultimate zerg answer to any land-bound threat. It is comparable to a mobile fortress, capable of charging and overrunning enemy lines, leaving them shattered and flattened.
  
−
Oftentimes, infested will develop freakish and bestial features, such as overlarge fangs and claws. They can mutate in such a way as to functionally fuse with whatever weapons and armour they had at the time, their bodies warping to integrating armour into their mass directly and enelope the hilts of weapons. It is not uncommon for them to sprout spines and tentacles seemingly at random, emerging from gaps in their armour or piercing it as they grow. Magical items, and sentient ones in particular, interact in bizarre ways with the mutation, often evolving to become things of horrible corrupting power.
+
''Note:'' If its powers seem a bit ridiculous, they most likely are. I'm just throwing ideas out there at the moment.

===Infested Rabble Tactics===
 
−
Rabble are freshly infested, just beginnig to maifest their first mutations and still weakened from the horrifying zerg virus. As such they are rather vulnerable, but even so, their mutations grant them deadly claws and thick, leathery skin. Their enhanced regenerative ability may keep some in the fight a little longer. They attack only in defense of thier brood, preferring to work in pairs and occasionally taking up their formerly favoured weapons, if available.

===Infested Slasher Tactics===
 
−
The first step in an often painful process of transformation, slashers develop some of the more universal zerg features. Their toes lengthen, giving them the long strides of a digitigrade gait. Their eyes become the disconcerting orange and black, even as their hides harden into a bizarre scaly exoskeleton.  Their fingers develop into long, razor sharp talons that fan out like a bat's wing (albeit lacking the membrane) and they grow needle-like teeth, occasionally complimented by a pair of fanged mandibles.

The infested impaler ranks among the most bizarre of mutations. Its jaw morphs into an enormous, barbed spike situated at the end of a long, muscular tentacle. This impaler tentacle extends with shocking speed and force from what was formerly its mouth. The impaler's arms are atrophied and it moves with a strange loping gait, preferring to situate itself behind the front lines and attack targets of opportunity.

Ultralisk

The ultralisk is the ultimate zerg answer to any land-bound threat. It is comparable to a mobile fortress, capable of charging and overrunning enemy lines, leaving them shattered and flattened.

Note: If its powers seem a bit ridiculous, they most likely are. I'm just throwing ideas out there at the moment.
