Overview
The Drone is the Zerg resource harvester and builder. When new buildings are created, the Drone itself morphs into the building. Thus a full Zerg base will require nearly 100 Drones in addition to the ones set to farm resources. As a general rule, you should never use your last Drone to make a structure, else you may have no resources left to continue building. Unlike other harvesters, Drones can also burrow themselves to avoid death from an enemy attack. If the enemy leaves after destroying the base, you can use your surviving Drones to start a new base.

Burrow

This ability is available to several Zerg grounds units including the Drone. A burrowed unit will dig itself into the ground rendering it invisible and cannot be attacked unless a nearby detector unit can spot its location. The burrowed unit cannot attack any units, but it can see a very small distance. This ability is great for hiding your injured units to allow them to recover health or for spying at certain locations, such as expansion points or outside enemy bases to track enemy movement.
