Burrow



This is the Zerg Stealth Mechanic. These units are invisible until revealed by a Detector.

Overview
Burrow is a Zerg ability used to conceal Units underground. This is the Zerg equivalent to cloaking, a Stealth Mechanic. Burrowed units are treated as a different unit type for UI tab selection purposes, unlike some other status effects. Burrowing robs every unit of its mobility except the Roach. Moving while Burrowed produces a distortion similar to cloaking. Roaches, Lurkers, and Banelings can attack while Burrowed. Structures cannot be placed on top of Burrowed Units. This Mechanic is useful for traps, flanks, and denying Expansions.
