"Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me."
- The Overmind
The overmind is an immobile and invulnerable specialist that cannot move from the core, but does not replace the core. The overmind does not simply push lanes in a typical manner one would think, and instead unleashes the swarm in various ways to assist allies, rather than all out siege.
