The Infestor modifies, but does not control, minions. That's it! Massive agent of lane pressure. Note: Might play like a blend of Abathur (without the carapace) and Azmodan (without the Basic Abilities).
Ariel The Infestor can target nearby minions and infest them - enhancing the units in several ways. Precisely HOW the Infested are FURTHER enhanced, depends your choice Combat Trait at level 1 (all controlled by the (D) key).
While her health pool is very low (and attack damage is even lower), The Infestor can be quite elusive (burrowing quickly underground to hide, or Deep Tunneling to escape danger. The Infestor can be played as an amazing split pusher.
