Creep colony

Creep colonies are zerg structures used to extend creep. Colonies have to be established on pre-existing creep.

A creep colony can evolve into defensive structures: the sunken colony for ground defense, or the spore colony for air defense and detection.^[1]

In some builds of the StarCraft beta, the name "spore colony" was used for the creep colony's sprite.^[2]

The creep colony's sprite previously had the placeholder name "Fcolony,"^[3] possibly referring to the fungal colony.

StarCraft II[]

The following section contains information from a previous version of StarCraft II which is no longer valid.

At some point, creep colonies were present in the game engine of StarCraft II.^[4]

However, the creep colony was replaced by the creep tumor, and the defenses with the spine crawler and the spore crawler respectively.
