History

Cerebrates were a breed of Zerg that usually act as directors of the broods of the Zerg hives, although more specialized Cerebrates can be created. The Cerebrates were subordinate to the Overmind until the entity's destruction.

On Tarsonis, the Overmind created a new Cerebrate that was charged with the protection of a chrysalis that contained its greatest creation. The Cerebrate thus guided a brood in its charges protection as it was transport from Tarsonis to the Zerg's new base on Char.

After the destruction of the Overmind, control of the Zerg Swarm shattered with some broods became directionless whilst others fell into the hands of rogue Cerebrates. One such Cerebrate was brought under the domination of the Queen of Blades who used it as a general for her forces. Meanwhile, Cerebrates on Char attempted to form a new Overmind after the original's destruction where they merged together to form the entity but it was still in an immature state. In fear of coming under its domination, the Queen of Blades manipulated the Protoss into eliminating the Cerebrates not under her control and were part of this developing Overmind. Its destruction allowed Kerrigan to be free and led to her ruling the Zerg Swarm as the Queen of Blades. In the aftermath, the use of the Cerebrates was seemingly abandoned by Kerrigan who replaced with them with the use of Broodmothers.

Overview

They were capable of being killed but their pact with the Overmind meant that it was able to reincarnate them thus making them effectively immortal. However, certain void-energies such as those of the Dark Templar which were similar to those within the Overmind were able to permanently kill a Cerebrate. In such cases, their respective broods ran amok and went out of control as the guiding influence over them was lost as they were separated from the hive mind.
